This is hands-down my family’s new favorite breakfast! I am a huge french toast fan. I especially love that I could prepare this the night before and throw it in the oven for 20 minutes in the morning and it is ready to go! I have tried some baked french toast recipes that end up being a little too soggy, but this turned out perfectly. You don’t even need syrup, because it has a delicious caramel glaze that makes it taste absolutely amazing!

Love the look here! I love french toast, and I love the look of these, yummy!
This is very similar to the Creme Brulee French Toast that my sisters and I make for family brunches often. It’s a huge hit with all the kids!! I always love when you can prepare it totally the night before!!

Oh my goodness, this looks delicious! I am going to try it for Christmas breakfast, I am always looking for something quick but special.
Yum! Sounds great. I think I’ll go out and get the ingredients for a Saturday breakfast!
Ohmygosh this looks so good! I’m totally bookmarking this one. 🙂
We had it this morning! Amazing! Hubby is not a sweets lover but he loves caramel. He said this for breakfast is one more good reason to be alive.lol Thanks so much.
BTW I also have five sisters! It can get quite interesting at times. 🙂
Does this have to sit overnite? Would love to make for dinner tomorrow but I don’t have the supplies. Thanks
I made this on Christmas Eve and we loved it! I also made it tonight for our Easter Breakfast. YUM!!! Thanks for sharing. My husband hates regular french toast, but loves this.
Great recipe and so easy to make! Thanks 🙂
Why would someone NOT like French Toast baked on top nuts-and-caramel candy? I mean, seriously….
This looks sinfully wonderful! I am sure I could become an addict. I am putting this on my list for this weekend at the cabin!
Sounds great. I think I’ll go out and get the ingredients for a breakfast! Overnight Desert safari Abu Dhabi
This was delicious! However, I was able to fit about 11 slices of french bread in my pan, and still had enough sauce/syrup. Thanks for a great recipe!
We just made this for Easter breakfast and i must say: as a terrible cook i did very good at this. We didnt do the nuts but it was just as good with some homemade whip cream on top. The only thing il do different next time is make it in a much biggger pan so i can fit more slices in it and serve it for brunch with guests over. SOOOO DELISH!
Very good! Made it in the morning for dinner in the evening. My kids love breakfast for dinner. And I love easy things I can throw into the oven for dinner. Only thing I would do differently is to actually cook the caramel a bit longer, perhaps boil it to make it a deeper caramel. But very good and a great way to use up bread! I crammed 12 pieces into my 9 X 13 as I was feeding 6.
I have made this YUMMY French toast numerous times. Everyone loves this so that they ask for the recipe. This might even makes it to Christmas morning!! Thanks so much for your site~~~ it is divine!!!!
I made this but added bourbon and diced apple to the topping as well as the pecans. It was absolutely amazing!
Hello!
Just a silly question about the best bread to use…it says french bread but those slices are huge and would never fit into a 9×13 so I must be thinking of the wrong bread. Is it more like a baguette? Oh, and does it have to be day old? Thanks!!
Hi Stacey, we buy the loaf of French Bread in the bakery at the grocery store and slice it ourselves. about 8 slices fit great in a 9 x 13 inch pan. It doesn’t have to be day old! 🙂
I made this last night for this morning and it was a huge hit. Thank you for such a great recipe, it is a keeper!
