This scrumptious Cinnamon Raisin Brioche French Toast Bake is perfect for a comforting breakfast or a delicious brunch. Featuring luxurious brioche soaked in a rich and creamy custard, this casserole is baked until gooey on the inside and caramelized on top.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or oil.
2
Cube the cinnamon raisin brioche bread into 1-inch pieces and evenly distribute them in the prepared baking dish.
3
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to make the custard.
4
Pour the custard evenly over the bread pieces, gently pressing down on the bread to help it soak up the liquid. Allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes.
5
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until set and lightly golden on the edges.
6
Remove the baking dish from the oven, and evenly scatter the thinly sliced butter over the baked bread pieces. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the top.
7
Switch the oven to broil and return the dish to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the butter has melted and the sugar caramelizes. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning. Allow the dish to cool for 5 minutes.
8
Serve warm, with an extra drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
