Melted Ice Cream French Toast Bake with Maple-Honey
The easiest and best way to make French Toast. We’re sure of it. NOTE: this recipe is simple and so fast to put together, but just takes a little bit of hands-off resting time, for the bread to soak up all of that melty ice cream goodness.
Ingredients
6 eggs
2 cups melted vanilla bean ice cream
1 tsp cinnamon
1 loaf challah or brioche bread, sliced however thick you like (I do about ¼” to ½” slices)
Confectioner’s sugar, for dusting
1 ¼ cups honey
1 ¼ cups maple syrup
Fresh seasonal fruit, for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large, (9 by 13-inch) baking dish, whisk the eggs together with the melted ice cream and cinnamon. Dredge and drag the bread slices through the mixture ensuring each slice is fully coated. Shingle them across the dish, creating an even layer. Allow this to sit for, ideally, 30 minutes before baking.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until puffy and golden brown. Dust with powdered sugar. Combine the honey and maple syrup in a bowl and serve on the side. Serve with fruit, if you like.
