1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup granulated sugar, plus extra for the topping
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup unsalted butter
Maple syrup, for serving
Preparing the French Toast the Night Before:
1: Prepare the Baking Dish: Generously butter a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and to add flavor.
2: Arrange the Bread: Arrange slices of French bread in a single layer inside the baking dish, slightly overlapping if necessary to fit all slices.
3: Make the Custard Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the 5 eggs, 1 cup of half-and-half, 1 cup of whole milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2/3 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
Whisk all the ingredients until they are thoroughly mixed, forming a creamy and well-blended custard mixture.
