Baked French Toast is a favorite at our house. Delicious enough for a special occasion, but easy enough for any day of the week.
Baked French Toast is one of those recipes that allows you do all of the work the night before. All you have to do in the morning is bake it!
My version of baked french toast is covered in crispy, crunchy cinnamon goodness. I used Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal to create the crispy coating.
Ingredients
- French Bread
- Eggs
- Half and Half
- Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
- Cinnamon
- Cinnamon Cereal
How to Make Baked French Toast?
- First, you want to start with a nice thick bread, not the regular sandwich type bread. I like my bread about 3/4″ thick.
- Then, mix together your egg mixture which is a combination of eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla. Make sure the eggs are beaten well.
- Next, crush your Cinnamon Toast Cereal. I like to put it in a zippered plastic bag and roll over it with a rolling pin.
- Then, dip your bread into egg mixture, totally coating both sides and then dip into crushed cereal, covering both sides. Place each piece on the prepared baking sheet.
- Finally, cover with wax paper and put in the freezer for a few hours over overnight. You want it to be firm. When you are ready to cook it, bake at 425 degrees F, uncovered, turning once, for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Baked French Toast makes morning prep simple and I love the crunch the cereal gives the french toast. For more cinnamon goodness serve it with cinnamon syrup. All your snickerdoodle fans are going to love it too.
