Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Overnight French Toast Bake.
Step 1
To create a delightful Overnight French Toast Bake, start by grabbing a small saucepan.
Step 2
In it, combine corn syrup, butter, and brown sugar.
Step 3
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring gently until the sugar melts completely and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
Step 4
Once ready, pour this luscious blend into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom to create a sweet base.
Step 5
Next, take your sliced French bread and arrange it neatly over the buttery mixture, ensuring each slice is well-coated for maximum flavor.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until everything is beautifully combined.
Step 7
Pour this creamy egg mixture over the bread slices, making sure to soak them thoroughly for that perfect custardy texture.
Step 8
Now, cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight, allowing the bread to soak up all those delicious flavors.
Step 9
The next morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 10
Once heated, remove the cover from your dish and slide it into the oven.
Step 11
Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 12
Serve your warm Overnight French Toast Bake straight from the oven, and enjoy every delicious bite! If you have leftovers, don’t worry; they can be easily reheated for a tasty treat later on.
