Ingredients
  

For the Custard
  • 4 large eggs Provides structure and moisture; substitute with flax eggs for a vegan version.
  • 1 cup milk Adds creaminess; whole milk is preferred, but almond or oat milk works for a lactose-free option.
  • 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon Adds flavor and warmth; adjust according to taste; nutmeg can be used for variation.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances flavor; choose pure vanilla for the best results.
  • 1 pinch salt Balances sweetness; essential for flavor, but can be omitted if watching sodium intake.
For the Bread
  • 8 slices brioche bread (½ to ¾ inch thick) The base for soaking; its richness holds custard well; can substitute with Challah or thick sourdough.
Optional Toppings
  • Butter Adds richness; not necessary for a dairy-free version.
  • Maple syrup (warmed) A classic sweet topping; other syrup flavors or fruit can be used for variation.

Equipment

  • large non-stick rimmed half sheet pan
  • medium bowl

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Sheet Pan French Toast
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Generously spray the prepared sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared sheet pan, ensuring it spreads evenly.
  5. Place brioche bread slices in a single layer within the custard mixture, allowing them to soak for about 1 minute.
  6. Carefully flip each slice of bread to coat in the custard mixture and let sit for a few minutes.
  7. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, checking for doneness at the 8-minute mark.
  8. Flip the slices using a spatula and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with butter and warmed maple syrup if desired.
