French Toast Bake

Last weekend I made a French Toast Bake for a bridal shower brunch. I love this recipe because it is so easy (Fia could do this by herself), economical (most expensive ingredient was the Texas Toast at $2), & oh-so-delicious! The best part is that it is made the day before so there is no fuss on the day you consume it....perfect for a Sunday afternoon or brunch. This food post will be step-by-step as I take you through the entire recipe with me...as I like to make my own tweeks & people get mad at me for not telling them EXACTLY what I did. *My additions to the recipe will be in red*

Before I begin....I must note that I was making a double batch (two 9 x 13 pans) so the pictures have double the ingredients. The recipe listed below is for 1 pan (9 x 13). Happy eating!!





Ingredient Checklist
1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick)
1 cup brown sugar
1 loaf Texas toast
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Powdered sugar for sprinkling

Directions
1. Melt butter in microwave & add brown sugar....stir till mixed.
2. Pour butter/sugar mix into bottom of 9 x 13 pan....spread around
3. Beat eggs, milk, & vanilla
4. Lay single layer of Texas Toast in pan
5. Spoon 1/2 of egg mixture on bread layer
6. Add 2nd layer of Texas Toast
7. Spoon on remaining egg mixture
8. Cover & chill in fridge overnight
9. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes
10. Sprinkle with powdered sugar
11. Serve with warm maple syrup (I don't do the syrup part)

- Crack eggs & get them started (on low)
- Melt butter in microwave
- Add brown sugar & stir together


- Pour mixture into 9 x 13 pan
- Spread evenly to cover bottom of pan


- Add milk & vanilla to egg mixture
- *Add 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar to egg mixture*
- Spread even layer of Texas Toast on butter/sugar layer
- *I cut off the crusts...this is NOT necessary....I just think it looks nicer...it was for a bridal shower*-


- After you have 1 even layer, ladle on 1/2 of egg mixture


- *Sprinkle brown sugar & cinnamon before next layer*
- Spread second layer of Texas Toast
Add Image- Ladle second half of egg mixture
- *Spread thin layer of butter*


- *Sprinkle lightly with white sugar & cinnamon*
(I think the butter & sugar help give the final product a crusty top....I could easily be wrong....but it sure doesn't hurt the flavor....and since this recipe is far from figure friendly...then why not?)
- Refrigerate overnight

- Bake at 350 for 45 minutes
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar
- Top should be crusty, middle should be soft & moist, & bottom is just glorious!


- The recipe calls for eating it with warm maple syrup. I did not do this....it would be way too sweet....instead, I added the Tablespoon of powdered sugar in the egg mixture.
- I personally feel that eating it upside down is the way to go.....that way you don't waste any of the sticky bits of heaven on the plate

That looks so good! I want some right now. French toast is my favorite breakfast dish. I'm going to have to try this sometime.

baorao said...

I had French Toast for dinner because of this. That bake looks like it might also work well if you want to figure out a stuffed french toast with cream cheese.

Rach said...

cream cheese!?! Of course....genius. That would make a great addition. I also thought fresh strawberries would be a good accompaniment.

Anonymous said...

this is so simple and so good. Worth a try for all of you who want to have a great breakfast with little preparation.

Elena Hernandez said...

Thank you for the recipe... Made for Christmas morning breakfast!! Tweaked the recipe a bit... Stuffed the Texas Toast w/ cream cheese and apricot spread... Put apricot spread w/ the bottom brown sugar/butter!! Family LOVED it :) (found recipe from Pinterest)

Thank you for making our Christmas morning a litlle less stressful and a little more yummy! Recipe was great and so easy. My son suggested putting a layer of sliced bananas between the two layers of bread...I may try this next time!!

I made this for our family Christmas brunch and it was a huge hit! We have an aunt that lives at the School Sisters of Notre Dame Motherhouse and she wants the recipe too! All the girls want it as well! Very good! I tweeked it with Rachel's notes in red. Would not change a thing...it is awesome!!!!

Ginger Devotion said...

This is currently baking in my oven. I whipped up a creamcheese mixture, using 1 block of cream cheese, a couple tbspn's of powdered sugar, and 1 egg yolk. I spread that over the first layer of bread and then added the egg mixture. It looks and smells delicious and I have no doubts that it will taste just the same!

MelaKamin said...

Thanks for sharing - made this today & my family loved it!

Made this on Christmas Eve & threw it in the oven on Christmas morning & it was incredible! I sliced a loaf of french bread from Walmart instead of using Texas toast & it was still incredible. I like that it didn't have a really strong egg taste but was still coated just enough that there weren't any "dry spots" that I bit into. Family loved it. I loved it. Thank you so much!!

Anonymous said...

Last time I made this I got fancy and I added sliced apples to the bottom and pecans to the top! Extra yummy! Is also great when you use cinnamon raisin bread instead of plain bread.

Anonymous said...

Another good idea would be to use the Pepperage Farm Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Swirl bread, or Cinnamon and Raisins bread... Think I will go shopping tomorrow!!
Thanks!

Just put this in the oven. Making it was so simple and my son loves french toast, so this will be a big treat for him. Thanks for the treat!!

When I make french toast I use a couple of tablespoons of funnel cake mix to my batter. Tastes wonderful!! Just a thought.

I just made this for my hubby's birthday breakfast. We loved it! Thanks so much for sharing.

I just made this for breakfast. I was wondering if I did something wrong. I cooked it at 350 degrees for 45 minutes but when I took it out, the bottom bread was extremely soggy.I was afraid to eat it because it looked like I had just poured the egg batter straight on it. I cooked it for another 15 minutes and it looked the same. Is it suppose to look like that?
Thank you in advance!

Debra said...

I want to make this this morning. Hope the refrigerate overnight step is optional! Otherwise it sounds so good and easier than standing there cooking individual French Toast slices. Thanks for the recipe!

Rach said...

@anonymous, did you use Texas toast? I have never tried the recipe with any other type of bread because I wouldn't be sure that it would soak up enough of the egg mixture. Otherwise, the step by step directions are for a double batch....so maybe were your portions off? I'm sorry it didn't turn out. I promise that it really does taste fantastic when it cooks right!

Hollyjolly221 said...

Do you cover it while it is baking? Or bake uncovered??

JustMe said...

Just made this with a cream cheese mixture and strawberry preserves in the middle!!! To die for!!!

Kriste said...

This sounds so heavenly!! I bought all the stuff yesterday and would like to make this tomorrows breakfast. Let me just ask a few questions...I noticed you mentioned you doubled the recipe, so the ingredients you have listed needed to be cut in half, is that correct? Also do you cover this while cooking or no?

Thank you for sharing!

Rach said...

@hollyjolly221 & Kristie, I cover mine for about 20 minutes and then continue to bake it for the remaining time. Also, the recipe listed above is for a single 9 x 13 pan. I just didn't want people to get confused when they saw pictures of me mixing 8 eggs.

Thank you all for the suggestions!!! I will have to try and add some sort of cream cheese and fruit layer.

Anonymous said...

I was thinking of adding fresh blueberries in between the layers! Sounds so yummy and can't wait to try next weekend!

Reba said...

To make this gluten free I used tapioca bread. The texture was so great and not mushy at all. For good measure, I add maple syrup before I serve. Like she said, it's not figure friendly so splurge!

Made this delicious recipe yesterday and even my picky son loved it. He even went back for seconds and he never does. What an easy recipe for a morning breakfast with the family. Thank you so much.

IN Carnival cruise, I got hooked on french toast. They had one stuffed with berries. I HAVE to make this!!!1

Just made it for in the morning. Can hardly wait!

Ellen said...

looks like a marvelous recipe! TFS!

Kat said...

Want to make this weekend. Do I take this from fridge to oven for 45 minutes or let it get closer to room temp before baking?

Rach said...

@Kat, fridge straight to oven! No need to warm to room temp. :)

rachel and khloe said...

I think I am going to try this for my daughters slumber party this weekend. Thank you!

Made this today for brunch, it was relish!

Heather said...

Can I make it in the am and put it right in the oven or is it necessary to refrigerate overnight?

Anonymous said...

I've made something like this-for a great taste slice apples and put them between the layers and on top. They are good with or without the syrup.

Unknown said...

can't wait to try this in the morning! it was soooo easy to make too! :)

Anonymous said...

Sounds so delicious! I'm going to try it for my daughter's sleepover party!

Also, I think the refrigeration part is about the bread having time to completely soak up all of the liquid so it's going to be better the longer it sits but I'm guessing a few hours at minimum...

Karen Scola said...

Tried this out for dinner tonight. Of course we had mimosa's with it. I must say, you are correct that the bottom is the bets part!

Soooo GOOD, easy to make and you just pop in the oven when you get up. I will add a layer of cream cheese next time.

mdp928 said...

I had the same problem as Anonymous. Did all the steps to the letter, and got soggy bread mush. I even took the top layer off and tried to bake it separately. It ended up being hard as a rock on top and a mess on the bottom.

Anonymous said...

I made this last night and popped it in the oven this morning, All i added was a thin layer of pecans in between the bread...It was sooo good, family loved it! My new recipe!! Thanks

Tastes even better if you cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake it. The bread mushes together and it's so yummy!!

OMG... This recipe was a TOTAL crowd pleasure in a very picky house. I am a big fan of any make ahead and this one is perfect. I should also add that I used hot dog buns because I was in such a hurry to try it out and it was just as good. Thanks so much for sharing!!! I love PINTRIST!

Anyone know how this might keep and/or freeze? I'm planning on making a batch but as it's just me in the house I was going to try and freeze or refrigerate leftovers.

Thoughts? Ideas?

Anonymous said...

I wanted so much to love this recipe. I did everything, exactly as your recipe called for. I even tried cooking it longer, but alas it is soggy on the bottom layer. I think it just must be a taste preference. Some people like things like bread pudding (which is typically too soggy for my taste) and others don't. I am one who doesn't. I noticed a few others complained about soggy results here too. I like my french toast cooked all the way through. The top layer was good, and the bottom layer of carmel goodness was awesome, but the bottom toast layer was soggville. Sorry. I wasn't a fan. But, it doesn't mean you can't like it! Everyone has different tastes.

Anonymous said...

Hello, I made a double batch in a large pan and was wondering if I should cook longer at a lower temp or bake the same as a single batch. Just don't want it to turn out soggy. Thanks- Kristi

So, I love sweets but I l found the topping to be super sweet, almost too sweet. I think I will use less sugar next time. Otherwise I loved it, thank you for sharing!!!

SheezComeUndone said...

This tasted amazing! That butter/brown sugar combo on the bottom sent it into flavor orbit! But, I don't know what happened, but I didn't have enough texas toast to make 2 full layers. I used a 9X13 dish. I made the full bottom layer, then just had to make do with what was left. I could have used 4 or 5 more slices of bread. But no matter, because it still ROCKED!

Anonymous said...

I have two little men that LOVE French toast. I made it last week and being that they are only 5 and 2, I had a ton left over. I let it cool to room temp. Then put each stack of whole pieces in the freezer in ziplock bags, then pulled out a piece each morning. It was super tastyeven after being frozen and reheated. I am getting ready to make more now to freeze for the next week or so.

I make this recipe using cinnamon bread. I also flip it when it is done so that the gooey, yummy stuff on the bottom is on the top!

Found this on Pinterest and made it for breakfast today! Absolutely delicious! Added blueberries to it while i baked it and it turned out amazing then put strawberries on the top! Very very good and easy to do!

I made this for breakfast today and must say it was a Delicious one. I added bananas,strawberries,peaches,and black cherries Cooked with butter and powered sugar!! No need for syrup since the fruits and powered sugar,butter added juice and more flavor..I have picky eaters BUT this was a big Hit!! I'm loving it and will make often!! Thanks

Found this on Pinterest, and have made it twice in 2 weeks! It is my new go-to breakfast/brunch! Thanks for sharing this easy and quite delicious recipe!!

I made this for dinner last night as a treat and it was phenominal!! One tip...I did not use all of the milk/egg mixture. I only used enough to coat the bread....probably 3/4 of the mixture. I also couldn't find plain Texas toast so I used challah bread cut into 1-1.5 inch thick slices. It took a few minutes to place the bread because they were different sizes/shapes but not a huge problem. I reheated it this morning for breakfast in the microwave for 45 seconds and it was as good as last night!

Melissa said...

I made this and it's good! But the bottom layer was really soggy I even flipped it and baked it longer... Maybe too much milk? Advice?

Julie said...

I made this with freshly made homemade whole grain bread made from freshly ground flour and this recipe is DELICIOUS! What impressed me the most was that when we reheated some of the leftovers in the microwave the next morning, it tasted just as good reheated as it did coming out of the oven the first time. This is definitely a GREAT recipe. Thanks for sharing it. I will have to concur with most everyone else...this is sweet enough and does NOT need the extra syrup added to it. I have a new FAVORITE!!!!

Renee Marchol said...

I want to try this. I think Texas Toast would be the best instead of sliced white bread.

Anonymous said...

Do you cover it with foil while it is baking?

Anonymous said...

For the people who are getting gooey results: are you using real butter or are you using margarine? Margarine, low calorie "spreads" , etc. have a *much* higher water content than butter.

Anonymous said...

Made this the other weekend and it was amazing! Little tweaks though for those who found it mushy, instead of spooning the egg/milk mix onto the bread, lightly dunk each piece individually and throw away any extra mixture! Also make it righy before bed if you're having it say 10hrs plus later or it will still sog! Oh and strawberry jam between layers is too die for! Thanks @Rach for the reciepe we now have a simple quick make before xmas morning favorite!

Flo said...

HEY I'm Flo!
was wondering if you could prep this in the morning to make for dinner with the same effect? (huge fans of breaky for dinner) with some fruit salad and bacon this would be great!

Anonymous said...

For those asking if you can make it the morning of - yes you can. I dipped each piece of bread in the egg mixture & put it directly in the oven. It turned out great!

Rach's Things said...

Yummy ....

Anonymous said...

This sounds wonderful..and economical..I think I might try Challah in place of the Texax Toast, and I like the idea of jam in between the layers.

I currently have this chilling in the fridge for breakfast tomorrow. I used Cinnabon creamer instead of heavy cream. Hopefully it comes out as good as everyone is saying this is. If it does, I'll be trying it again using blueberries.

Mmmm! I will definetely try this. God bless!

Pinky said...

Thank you for your recipe. This is one recipe I will keep indefinitely! There was some leftover so I kept it in the fridge and baked it again for a few minutes the next morning and it tasted even better since all the egg/milk mixture was fully absorbed by the bread. 5 stars!

Hi Rachel, a year later & your tweaked recipe is still making its rounds. I'm impressed ! Thank you - it's always great for any mother to come across a simple yet yummy recipe. We will be making this soon - my teens & I. Warm greetings from another mixed family, all the way in Dubai.

We just ate this for Easter breakfast this morning and it was DELICIOUS!! This will be my go to French toast casserole recipe! My only change was the bread.I could not find Texas toast anywhere, so I used a thick cinnamon swirl loaf. I also followed all of your suggestions in red. My favorite part was the brown sugar/butter mixture at the bottom. Thank you so much for sharing, it came out perfectly!

NoWickCandle said...

Wow, this sounds amazing!!! I will be trying this very soon! Thanks for sharing :)

Anonymous said...

I think the people who are having their version turn out soggy are either using double the egg mixture or more likely, the wrong bread.

If Texas toast isn't available in your area [it's not sold in south Florida where I live] you can substitute another firm thick sliced bread. I don't believe it will work with thin sliced "balloon" bread. Be sure you let the filled pan sit long enough to absorb all the egg mix. Overnight in the refrigerator is best.

WooHoo. Meijer bread. I don't think I could ever move to a place where that doesn't have a Meijer.

This recipe is amazing, I've made it twice in one week. First time I didn't use the right bread and I did your method. It tasted great but the bread wasn't fluffy. Who cares we ate it all. Haha just Hubs and I ate the whole thing. Second time, bought California French toast bread , use 3 eggs 1 cup of milk with everything else the same. I followed your instructions except I dipped the bread in the milk mixture twice and placed them in the pan. Omg. They are the best French Toast ever. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. God bless. PS are you from GR because I grew up there.

I'm trying this tonight for an event at my school. I looked all over (NJ) for unfrozen Texas Toast- all I could find was frozen and garlic or cheese. So I decided to get two loaves of Italian bread and cut it to 1". Made another stop at Trader Joes (For those yummy hashbrown patties to go along with this!) And of all things- they had unfrozed Trader Joes brand of Texas Toast! I am freezing the Italian bread for another time and trying the recipe "as is!" Looks great!

Mary Manion said...

Did anyone ever freeze this? Perhaps bake first and freeze? Or overnight then freeze.. might be good to try

Amber said...

This looks so yummy! I'm going to make this tomorrow morning!

Peaceangel said...

When you say Texas Toast, are you referring to the Texas Toast frozen french bread, that is pre-buttered & seasoned? Because in the picture, it looks as though you are using slice bread. Thank you

Has anyone made this ahead and frozen until ready to cook? I'm curious but wonder if it will be too soggy.

What happen ...the bottom burnt really. Doubled the recipe. Bread was very good. But the bottom sauce was dark and burnt.

Tammy B said...

um, what is texas toast? is it labeled as such on the bag?

Ayla said...

I made this without any alterations, but with sourdough bread with really crunchy crust. It was de-LISH-us! Crusts were the best part. And I just learned that it tastes amazing cold the next day too. Mmmm-mmm !

Anonymous said...

For those who are experiencing sogginess problems - try switching the bread type. I made this today for a brunch and I used day-old challah instead of Texas Toast - the heavier texture of the bread stood up very well to the overnight soaking and my result was not soggy at all. I followed the recipe without the additions (read: extra sugar) and thought it was plenty sweet with just the brown sugar layer and some powdered sugar sprinkled on top. This is a real winner of a recipe - SO EASY, it's maybe 10 minutes to put together the night before - and makes entertaining less stressful because you aren't trying to cook as guests arrive.

How long did you leave it in the fridge overnight?

This was amazing!! Thank you for the recipe!
I made it as directed, but added a thin layer of a mixture of cream cheese, sugar and vanilla (think Sopapilla cheesecake) between the stacks of bread. I also used unsalted butter as an FYI.

I followed your tweeks as well as added a layer of sliced apples to the bottom and a cream cheese layer (mentioned in one of comments) to the middle.
I cannot wait to try it tomorrow!

Sheri said...

Wonderful. I varied it a bit. NOT soggy. I dipped the regular walmart bread slices and they were almost falling apart nothing left over of the egg mixture. I whipped cream cheese and one egg spread over bottom bread layer and added frozen blueberries one cup+ to the center. I forgot the sugar in the egg mixture and didn't put cinnamon in. I did put nutmeg and vanilla in. I love it.

Used Butter, Whole Milk, And let sit to come to room temp before cooking and also let it set up after removing from oven. All of these things can affect the end result. Love it and will make again and again. Thanks. Sheri

Texas toast is just a type of thick bread that is found in the bread aisle. It is NOT the kind that comes in the freezer with garlic. I

From Wiki: Texas toast is a type of packaged bread (not sold toasted as the name implies) which is pre-sliced at double the typical thickness of most pre-sliced breads. While it can be used in the same manner as ordinary bread slices such as in sandwiches, it is especially useful for dishes involving liquids or where extra thickness can improve the product, such as French toast. Producers of Texas toast in the United States include Wonder Bread, Franz Bakery, Mrs. Bairds, and Safeway/Lucerne Foods.

danielle said...

I recommend using stoneware, I did one in glass and one in stone and the glass one's bottom was burned. Also the brown sugar/butter mix was a little sticky and carmelized and weird tasting. Use a little more butter or less brown sugar.

Mary Ellen said...

I found this recipe on allrecipes, only you put peeled/chopped apples on top of the butter/brown sugar mixture and before adding the bread. Soooo good.
