Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 10 slices bread cut or broken into bite-sized pieces
- 8 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley finely chopped, can use other fresh herbs
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Spread half of the bread pieces into the bottom of the prepared pan. In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, milk, salt, pepper and parsley. Mix well and pour half of the mixture evenly over the bread pieces. Top with half of the cheese.
- Top with the remaining bread pieces, egg mixture and cheese. Sprinkle extra parsley over the top, if desired.Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Notes
- My favorite bread choices to use for baked French toast are French bread, sourdough bread, brioche, challah, or Texas toast.
- Freshly shredded cheese melts better than the packaged, pre- shredded cheese.
- Add some grated or shredded parmesan cheese for even more flavor!
- You can use half milk and half heavy cream for an even more decadent result.
- Add some shredded pepperoni or ground Italian sausage for a big flavor addition.
