Published 11/1/2023 • Updated 9/7/2024 If you’re a French toast lover like we are, you’ll not only enjoy this baked French toast, but also this peanut butter banana French toast bake or this Instant Pot cinnamon French toast casserole or this stuffed French toast. Does anyone else LOVE ordering French toast at restaurants, but hate making it at home? The process is messy, it takes a long time if you’re making multiple in a skillet, and you always end up with either too much egg mixture or too much bread. Cue: baked French toast! I love making oven French toast when I’m cooking for the masses or need a hands-off breakfast that frees up my stovetop for bacon or breakfast sausage. It’s seriously so easy to make and the results taste just like normal French toast.

Easy Variations for Baking French Toast
Bread: I’ve made this recipe using whole wheat bread and sourdough bread. You can pretty much use whatever bread you have on hand! Others have commented that they used Texas toast, cinnamon raisin bread, and farmhouse bread. Add a sweetener: if you like things a bit sweeter, try adding maple syrup or honey to the egg mixture.
For a Crispier French Toast
Bake that French toast at 375ºF! The higher baking temperature will allow the edges of the slices to get nice and crispy. You’ll bake for 8 minutes and then flip each slice. Then, place back into the oven, and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, depending on your oven.

For a Chewier French Toast
Bake at 350ºF! The lower baking temperature will allow your French toast to cook more slowly, creating chewier French toasty goodness. You’ll bake for 10 minutes and then flip each slice. Then, bake for an additional 4-6 minutes, depending on your oven.
French Toast Topping Ideas
Maple syrup (of course!) Greek yogurt Fresh berries Peanut butter Nutella Jam Butter
