Overnight Success!

It’s no surprise we love breakfast recipes. I mean, we love them so much we have breakfast for dinner every Wednesday night (aka “brinner).

We usually do some variation of pancakes, waffles or French Toast because the kids love all of them. Today’s recipe is an Overnight French Toast that was simple and a little different from our classic French Toast Bake.

It has layers of Texas Toast, cinnamon, brown sugar, eggs and more – and a recipe that I think can be changed up really easily. For example, I’m thinking a layer of nutella or sliced strawberries would be great in between the two layers of bread next time we make it!

How to make Texas Toast French Toast

MILK MIXTURE. Begin by melting the butter. Add brown sugar and mix well. Pour this mixture into the bottom of a 9×13.

BREAD. You don’t have to cut off the crust of the bread, but you can if you’re going for a prettier look. Add a layer of Texas toast to the baking dish.

EGG MIXTURE. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and vanilla. Pour half of egg mixture over the Texas toast and sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top. Add another layer of Texas Toast. Spread a thin layer of butter over bread.

BAKE. Top with the remaining egg mixture and top with your cinnamon and sugar mixture. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours before baking.When ready to bake, bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes.

Recipe Tips + Storing info

Refrigerating this baked french toast overnight makes sure everything gets soaked in well. If you don’t have the time for that we recommend refrigerating for at least 4 hours.

A filling in between the layers of french toast would be a welcome addition. A layer of Nutella or sliced strawberries or even cream cheese would be great additions to this overnight french toast.

STORE french toast in an air tight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.

    very good. It served 6 adults but I also had a baked omelet with it. Bread did not get soggy. It took so long to brush the egg on the slices so for the final layer I dipped the bread in the egg batter both sides and it was fine. Took Less time. Will make it again so easy and good.

      1. I am making this recipe right now, but I noticed that there is not instructions for how to make the final cinnamon sugar topping. Could you please share how much of each ingredient we use in order to make the topping?

        1. It looks like the ingredient list is missing the measurement for the cinnamon sugar mixture. It should say “1 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon”… we’ll get it updated. Thanks for catching that! Hope the french toast turned out delicious!

  2. Can I use regular loafed bread instead of Texas toast? Or would it be to soggy? Thank you for the feedback before I attempt this. The recipe
    sounds amazing and easy!

    1. You can… I’d suggest letting the bread dry out a bit before using. Because depending on the brand/type, it could run the risk of sogging up a bit.

  3. I am sure it is FANTASTIC! However, there is WAY TOO MUCH SUGAR in this recipe. And all six kiddos will become

    totally addicted to sugar (which is even more addictive than heroin..

    1. Calm down Karen, it’s not that serious! It’s only French toast. 🤦‍♀️ lol

      Don’t make this more than it is!

    2. Thanks for the feedback. We certainly like to eat a variety of foods… moderation in all things, right? 🙂 You could adjust the sugar content for your liking as well. It would obviously alter the flavor a bit, but might still be delicious. You’ll have to let us know how it turns out if you reduce the sugar.
