The Best Baked French Toast Recipe I've Tried (With Pre-Prep)
This baked French toast is everything you want in a brunch dish: golden and crisp on top, soft and custardy underneath, and full of cozy cinnamon-vanilla flavor. It’s made with thick slices of brioche soaked in a rich egg custard and finished with a buttery streusel topping that bakes into the perfect crust. You can prep it the night before, which makes it a go-to for holidays, weekend guests, or just treating yourself to something special on a slow Sunday morning.
