Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the bread on the baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of butter on both sides of each slice of bread.

Place the eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk vigorously to combine.

Dip one bread slice at a time in the egg and milk mixture, soaking both sides of the slice. Transfer the egg-soaked bread back to the baking sheet.

Bake the French toast on middle rack of oven for 10-12 minutes.

Carefully flip the French toast. Continue baking until toast is golden brown, 7-9 minutes.

Check to see that French toast is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Serve immediately. Drizzle with maple syrup, if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Choose Day-Old Challah 🍞
Use challah bread that's 1-2 days old, as it has less moisture and won't become soggy when soaked in the egg custard, resulting in perfectly crispy edges and custardy centers.
Chill the Custard Mixture ❄️
Refrigerate your egg, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt mixture for at least 30 minutes before soaking the bread to allow flavors to meld and ensure even, consistent absorption.
Butter Your Sheet Pan Generously 🧈
Use melted butter to coat the entire sheet pan evenly, creating a golden, caramelized crust on the bottom of each slice while preventing sticking and ensuring uniform browning.
Rotate Pan Halfway Through 🔄
Most ovens have hot spots; rotate your sheet pan 180 degrees halfway through baking to ensure all French toast pieces cook evenly and achieve that perfect golden-brown color throughout.
Drizzle Maple Syrup Last 🍁
Warm your maple syrup separately and drizzle it over the finished French toast just before serving, preventing it from burning during baking and preserving its pure, delicate flavor.
