Last weekend I made a French Toast Bake for a bridal shower brunch. I love this recipe because it is so easy (Fia could do this by herself), economical (most expensive ingredient was the Texas Toast at $2), & oh-so-delicious! The best part is that it is made the day before so there is no fuss on the day you consume it….perfect for a Sunday afternoon or brunch. This food post will be step-by-step as I take you through the entire recipe with me…as I like to make my own tweeks & people get mad at me for not telling them EXACTLY what I did. *My additions to the recipe will be in red*
Before I begin….I must note that I was making a double batch (two 9 x 13 pans) so the pictures have double the ingredients. The recipe listed below is for 1 pan (9 x 13). Happy eating!!

Does this French toast freeze well?
Where do I find a “loaf” of Texas toast? I have only seen it in a box in my grocery’s freezer section.
I made the French toast-it was delicious!
Looks delicious
I will try some of these recipes.
Looks delicious… Think it would work to make half of the recipe?
So the bottom layer gets butter and sugar layer and the top layer doesn’t 🤔 where’s the cinnamon..doesn’t everyone use cinnamon in French toast?
