2. Combining Butter and Brown Sugar
Next, integrate the melted butter and brown sugar until they marry well, forming a sweet concoction.
3. Preparing the Base
Pour this sweet concoction evenly across the base of a 9 x 13 baking pan, creating a delectable foundation for your French Toast Bake.
4. Mixing the Eggs, Milk, and Vanilla
In a separate vessel, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla until they are harmoniously combined, creating an egg blend that will add richness and flavor.
5. Assembling the Layers
Lay out your bread slices, forming a cozy layer atop the butter and sugar base. Drizzle half of your egg blend generously, ensuring each slice basks in the mixture. Introduce a hint of warmth with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Continue with another layer of bread slices, and baptize this layer too with the remaining egg potion. Lid it and let it sit in the fridge overnight, allowing the flavors to deepen and meld together.
6. Baking to Perfection
On baking day, fire up your oven to 350°F (175°C). Half-shielded, bake for 30 minutes, then let it see the oven’s full heat for the remaining 15 minutes.
