This French Toast Bake is the ultimate make-ahead breakfast that feels special with almost no morning effort. Thick slices of Texas toast soak overnight in a rich vanilla custard, then bake up soft and fluffy inside with a buttery brown sugar base that turns into a warm caramel-like topping. It’s perfect for holidays, brunch gatherings, or any morning when you want something comforting and impressive without standing at the stove.
As it bakes, the butter and brown sugar melt together at the bottom of the pan, creating a sweet sauce that seeps into the bread. The result is a casserole-style French toast that’s golden on top, tender in the center, and indulgent in every bite. A dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of warm maple syrup make it absolutely irresistible.
