In reply to Wendy. Wendy- Do you use parchment to bake the French toast or just the bread? Or both, maybe? I'm trying to avoid soggy French toast and will probably do the same as you with just dipping the bread into the egg mixture.

Oh, and parchment is a must!

I make this a lot (it’s a favorite for Christmas Morning) and I don’t pour the mixture over the top. I did that the first time and it was a soggy mess. Now, I just do a quick dip (it’s amazing how much it absorbs in that quick dip!) with each piece before putting it on the pan, then discard the remaining egg mixture. So good!

In reply to Ashton.

Thanks for your reply Ashton! 🙂 I did use the bread from the recipe and it got super thick after soaking up a lot of the mixture overnight, but there was still about a good 1/2 inch or so of mixture left in the 9×13 baking dish when I baked it. Maybe next time I will try cutting the egg-mixture in half and see how it turns out! The flavor was phenomenal though! I could probably just eat the bread all by itself. 😉

In reply to Mikaila. The idea is that the bread is so thick that it easily soaks it all up... so maybe your bread wasn't thick enough? Which is actually ok (to use thinner bread), but you wouldn't want to use all of the egg/milk mixture in that case. Did you use store bought bread or the bread from this recipe?

This looks amazing! I just have one question: Do you bake the french toast in the mixture or drain it before baking it? I baked it in the mixture and it seemed a bit soggy, but maybe it’s supposed to be? I was just wondering! Thanks! 🙂
