It’s rained almost the entire week, this week. Lots of wet and gloomy days. When I need a little pick me up or extra incentive to get the kids out of bed in the morning, I grab the recipe for this French Toast Bake.

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, this would be a delicious breakfast-in-bed option. Just sayin’! If you’re a French toast fan, this recipe takes the classic favorite over the top. The cinnamon bread is what makes this bake extra special!

Preparing the French Toast Bake

It’s so nice to be able to prepare something the day before you need it especially if it’s a holiday or you have guests coming over. It just means less time in the kitchen and more time visiting and enjoying the special moments with your friends and family.

So, to get this bake started, begin by cutting the slices into cubes.

Spread the cubes evenly into a greased 13×9″ pan.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Half & Half and vanilla.

Go ahead and cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate the pan overnight.

Making the Cinnamon Sugar Crumble Topping

The next day, get all of your ingredients together for the cinnamon sugar crumble topping. Cube the butter and cut it into the dry ingredients with a fork.

Sprinkle the sugar topping over the bread mixture and bake at 350º Fahrenheit for 42-45 minutes or until the center is set. The bottom of the bake should be soft and moist, the top of the bake should be sweet and crunchy.

The most difficult part of this recipe is finding the patience to wait for your first bite. Top with a dollop of whipped cream.

Sprinkle a bit of ground cinnamon on top of the whipped cream and enjoy.

Then, start all over with another piece. ? If you’re a big fan of maple syrup, add some before serving.
