For an extra layer of indulgence, consider sprinkling a tablespoon of brown sugar over the top of the French toast before baking to create a caramelized crust. Serve warm with a generous drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, and a side of crispy bacon for the ultimate breakfast indulgence. Feel free to experiment with different types of bread, such as brioche or challah, for a unique flavor profile.

May 13, 2025I used almond milk instead of half-and-half, and it still turned out great. A good option for those who are dairy-free.

Apr 14, 2025I found that 40 minutes was a bit too long for my oven, so I reduced the baking time to 35 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent it from drying out.
