Instructions

Before Bed

  1. Slice bread into 1" thick slices and let dry on the counter for a couple of hours (or place in a 300°F oven for 10 minutes using caution not to brown the bread).
  2. Place melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon on a large rimmed baking sheet (mine was 17.5" x 12.5"). Mix well and spread on the bottom of the pan.
  3. Arrange bread in the pan over the brown sugar mixture.
  4. Combine eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
  5. Gently pour half of the egg mixture over the bread ensuring all of the bread is soaked. Flip the bread and pour the remaining egg mixture over top.
  6. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight

Morning time:

  1. Remove the pan from the refrigerator and let it sit on the counter for 20 minutes
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes ensuring that the french toast doesn't brown
  4. Serve with maple syrup and whipped cream

Notes

  • I use a large pan, and it fits almost a whole loaf of french bread. This recipe will work just fine on two smaller pans.
  • You will see some egg mixture on the pan, the bread will soak it up as it sits overnight.
  • Any kind of milk can be used in this recipe (including non-dairy).
