Ingredients: 1 loaf thick-cut bread (about 10–12 slices brioche, challah, or Texas toast); 6 large eggs; 1 1/2 cups whole milk (or half-and-half for richer flavor); 1/3 cup granulated sugar; 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional); 1/4 teaspoon salt; 3 tablespoons melted butter

This easy Sheet Pan French Toast is baked in the oven, so every piece is done and ready to eat at the same time.

If you’re new to cooking and want something simple but really delicious, this sheet pan French toast is a great place to start.

Instead of standing at the stove flipping each slice one by one, you just put everything on a pan and let the oven do the work.

The bread turns out soft in the middle with slightly crispy edges, and it’s hard to mess up.

It’s perfect for busy mornings, weekends, or when you want to free up time to spend with a special someone.

French Toast Breakfast Tips

Bake on parchment paper for easy removal
For a richer flavor, you can use 1/2 heavy cream and 1/2 milk
Try using raisin bread or brioche bread for a change in flavors
Thicker slices will need more time to bake (there will be a time adjustment)
Use Slightly Stale Bread. Day-old bread absorbs the custard better without becoming soggy.
Don’t Skip the Soaking Time. This ensures every bite is rich and custardy.
Watch the Bake Time: Ovens vary-look for golden edges and a set center.
Cut the bread into strips and make French toast sticks. They're perfect for morning on-the-go breakfast meals, plus they can be frozen and reheated in the toaster just like full slices.
