Baked French Toast Casserole
Hi Everyone, doing the easy prep work ahead of time has delicious benefits when it comes to this Baked French Toast Casserole.
Using French baguette bread brings the casserole together nicely and gives it a hearty texture.
If you want to make the bread from scratch, my No-Knead Bread works well and I would suggest making 2 round loaves just to make sure you have enough to fill the 13″ x 9″ pan and you might have some bread leftover for another recipe.
Your house will smell amazing with this Baked French Toast Casserole baking in the oven!

Baked French Toast Casserole is made with 2 crusty French baguette loaves, and has all the delicious flavor and spices of French toast just in casserole form to feed a crowd! Assemble this the night before and toss it in the oven in the morning!
Ingredients
- 2 french baguettes, 1" slices, then cut in half-moon shapes (using loaves about 19" x 2-1/2"), you want enough til fill a 13" x 9" pan with 2 layers
- 8 large eggs
- 3 cups whole milk
- granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- pinch of salt
- 2-5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- maple syrup for serving
- Vanilla Whipped Cream for serving
Instructions
- Grease a 9" x 13" baking pan. Arrange cut bread in the pan in 2 even layers.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Pour mixture evenly over the bread.
- Dot the top with 2-5 tablespoons of butter, depending on preference. Cover and refrigerate overnight allowing the bread to soak up all the mixture.
- The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Take the casserole out of the fridge and bake for 40 minutes, check if it's done, if it is still liquid in the center, rotate the dish 90 degrees and leave in for an additional 15-20 minutes, you will want to put a foil tent on top to prevent the tops of the toast from browning more. Serve topped with Vanilla Whipped Cream and maple syrup. Enjoy!

The recipe doesn’t state the amount of granulated sugar to use. Similar recipes use 3/4 to 1 cup, so I’ll try that and hope for delicious(and make up the difference with syrup once it’s plated 😅
