Maple French Toast Bake

Breakfast · 55 min · Serves 6 · Easy · Best with Amber Rich maple syrup

A make-ahead breakfast casserole soaked overnight in maple custard and baked until golden. Perfect for holidays and lazy weekends.

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf thick-cut brioche or challah bread, cubed
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1½ cups whole milk
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup (Amber Rich)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp maple sugar for topping

Method

  1. Grease a 9x13 baking dish. Spread bread cubes evenly in the dish.
  2. Whisk together eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Pour custard mixture over the bread. Press gently so bread absorbs the liquid.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or at least 2 hours).
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F. Drizzle melted butter over the top and sprinkle with maple sugar.
  6. Bake 35–40 minutes until puffed, golden, and set in the center.
  7. Let cool 5 minutes. Serve with extra maple syrup and fresh berries.
Tip: Amber Rich maple adds a warm sweetness that soaks deep into the bread overnight. Prep it the night before and just pop it in the oven in the morning.
