What bread should I use for Oven Baked French Toast?

I suggest using a thicker bread like brioche, challah, or a Texas Toast. The brioche and challah are richer types of bread with the addition of butter and eggs and a touch of sugar so when you use a brioche bread, the sheet pan french toast recipe is much richer and more decadent. You can even use a cream cheese swirled brioche which tastes delicious!

How to make Sheet Pan French Toast:

• Start by preheating the oven and spraying your sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray. A little tip is to make sure it is completely coated with non-stick cooking spray as french toast loves to stick to pans!
• In a bowl, mix together whole milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and cinnamon. I like to use a whisk to make sure the eggs are incorporated and there are no brown sugar clumps.
• There are two ways you can dip the bread into the custard mixture. You can either dip each slice into the bowl of custard and then place it on the sheet pan or you can pour the custard onto a baking sheet and press each side of bread into the custard until it is coated.
• Bake for about 7-8 minutes per side or until it is a perfect light golden color.
• Make a creamy sweet mascarpone or ricotta cream topping and top with sweetened fresh fruit and syrup.

My favorite baking sheets are from USA PAN and Nordicware. They are always heavy and light-colored.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 loaf Brioche* Bread (sliced)
• 2 cups Whole Milk
• 4 large Eggs
• 4 Tablespoons Melted Salted Butter
• 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
• 2 to 3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
• ½ teaspoon Cinnamon

Sweet Mascarpone Cream:

• 4 ounces Mascarpone Cream (may substitute ricotta cheese or cream cheese)
• ½ cup Heavy Cream
• ½ to ¾ cup Powdered Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla

Fresh Fruit tossed in Sugar

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Generously spray a sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the french toast doesn't stick to the pan. You can also add some melted butter on top of the non-stick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
• Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture and turn it to coat. Another option is to pour the custard onto the baking sheet and turn the bread slices to coat each side.
• Bake for about 6-8 minutes per side. After baking for about 7 minutes, carefully remove the pan from the oven and flip the bread slices. Return the baking sheet to the oven and cook for another 6-8 minutes. *Since oven temperatures vary, it will depend on your oven so watch closely. Look for the french toast to turn a light golden brown color. You don't want to overbake.
• Place french toast slices on a plate and top with syrup, powdered sugar, sweet mascarpone cream, and sweetened fresh fruit.

Sweet Mascarpone Cream:

• In a medium mixing bowl, whip mascarpone cheese and heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold in powdered sugar and vanilla.
• Toss fresh fruit with sugar in a bowl. Let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the sugar to bring out the sweetness of the fruit.

Notes

You can use your favorite type of thick bread -- brioche, challah, Texas Toast, etc.
