Tips:

  • Use stale bread: This will help the French toast to be less soggy. If you don't have stale bread, you can toast fresh bread in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes before using it.
  • Whisk the eggs and milk together thoroughly: This will help to create a smooth custard that will evenly coat the bread.
  • Add a pinch of salt and sugar to the egg mixture: This will help to enhance the flavor of the French toast.
  • Use a shallow baking dish: This will help the French toast to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: The bread should be in a single layer so that it can cook evenly.
  • Bake the French toast at a high temperature: This will help to create a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the French toast immediately: This is when it is at its best.

Conclusion:

Oven-baked French toast is a delicious and easy breakfast or brunch dish. It is a great way to use up stale bread, and it can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect oven-baked French toast every time.
