How to Make Overnight Crème Brûlée French Toast
Step 1: Prepare the French Toast Custard
Start by slicing the bread into thick slices, about 1 inch each. Challah or brioche is ideal for French toast because they’re soft and absorb the custard beautifully without falling apart.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and well-combined.
Arrange the bread slices in a single layer in a 9×13-inch baking dish. If necessary, layer the bread to fit the entire dish, ensuring that all the bread is touching the custard.
