How To Make baked french toast on a lazy morning

• 1

  Spray a cookie sheet (with sides) with cooking spray or just butter it. I used aluminum foil over my cookie sheet, then sprayed it. Preheat oven to 375°F.
• 2

  Slice the bread, if you need to. Thicker bread slices may need more egg mixture, time to soak in before baking, and maybe a longer baking time.
• 3

  In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla, if you’re adding it.
• 4

  Dip the bread in the egg mixture on both sides, just enough to coat.
• 5

  Pour any excess egg mixture evenly on the bread.
• 6

  Sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired. Allow the egg mixture to soak into the bread while the oven finishes its preheating time, just a minute or two for regular sliced bread.

  Bake at 375°F for about 8 minutes, then flip and bake about 5 minutes more, or until the French Toast is as browned as you like it. Thicker bread will take a few more minutes.

  Serve immediately with butter, warm syrup, or your favorite toppings.
