Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13 pan lightly coated in cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- Slice your loaf of bread into slices that are about ¾ of an inch thick. Set aside.
- Place approximately ½ of your bread slices across the bottom of your prepared pan. Your pan should look like a jigsaw puzzle. Cut slices as you need to to cover the bottom of your pan, as best you can!
- Top with sliced bananas and chocolate chips.
- Add remaining bread slices on top of the chocolate chips and bananas. Spread them out as evenly as possible.
- Pour your egg mixture all over the top of your bread, making sure that each piece of bread is coated. Slightly adjust slices to make sure the egg mixture goes everywhere and coats everything as best you can.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight.
- When you are getting ready to eat your french toast remove it from the fridge and set it out on the counter for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Remove cover and add additional banana slices and chocolate chips if desired. I always do!
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until bread is firm and no liquid remains. I usually shove a toothpick inside the middle of it and make sure it comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and top immediately drizzle all over with caramel sauce. Allow to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Have a look at all of the sides you can serve with french toast. Enjoy!
Notes
- Tips:
- The perfect French toast bake deserves only the best topping to make it out of this world good. Serve it up with a choice or two and you'll leave others with their tongues wagging...they're just that happy!
- If you want to switch things up and make your French toast experience a little healthier, try one of these options found on our healthy recipes list. All the flavor will still be there folks...I can assure you of that!
- The best overnight French toast is made with bread that is slightly stale so it can soak up the batter perfectly.
- Lightly press the bread down into the batter to make sure it absorbs evenly.
- Take out of the fridge and let the pan sit on the counter for about 30 minutes before baking. This will help the casserole bake up more evenly.
