This is the most wonderful, easy Sheet Pan French Toast Bake to make for a group of people. We love how simple this breakfast recipe is to just pop into the oven for any breakfast or brunch gathering.
1loaf Italian bread, sliced into nice, thick slices (about 11/4 inch thickness)
5eggs, beaten
2cups milk
1 tsp.pure vanilla extract
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
pinch of ground nutmeg
pure maple syrup, warmed
powdered sugar, for garnishing
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place butter, brown sugar and pecans onto a large rimmed baking sheet, then place the baking sheet into the preheated oven for 5 minutes or until butter is melted; use a whisk to combine the melted butter with the brown sugar and pecans, spreading the mixture evenly over the baking sheet.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs with the milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg; dip the sliced bread into the egg mixture and place on top of the prepared brown sugar mixture on the baking sheet.
Bake, uncovered, on center rack of the oven for 15 minutes; turn slices over and bake an additional 15 minutes, or until the bread is slightly crisped on the edges.
To serve, place warm French toast slices onto serving plates, then drizzle with additional warm maple syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
