Baked Cinnamon French Toast

July 31, 2012

Baking french toast? So much easier! Lots of servings are read fast without having to be stuck at the stovetop. Put this in the oven and forget about it until the timer goes off and you’re ready to eat. This makes me feel like I’m having a little Christmas (morning), even in July. You can even make ahead and refrigerate overnight. Fresh fruit pretty much must happen with french toast for me. There’s lots of seasonal ways you could dress it up.

    Can I make this the night before, and bake it in the morning?

    • Rachel Schultz

      Yes! I would wait to pour the egg mixture until the morning, however.

  • LaVonne "Vonnie"

    I do believe we will be having this for breakfast Christmas morning.

    • Rachel Schultz

      That’s the perfect occasion!

    is there a link for a printable version? can’t wait to make this, will be using Truvia instead of sugar and probably eveperated milk!!

    • I’m sorry; I’m not sure how to make printable versions. My only suggestion would be to copy and paste into a Word document. Hope that helps. Sorry I don’t have more info.

      love,

    It’ll be Christmas in August when I make it. Is heavy cream required? I was thinking of either condensed skim milk or fat free half and half

    • I think those would work out just fine! Thanks for reading and your comment.

      Love,
      Rach
