Streusel Baked French Toast

How to make Streusel Baked French Toast Recipe - French toast happens on a very regular basis at our home, so I developed this aromatic streusel topping that gets baked right on top of the French toast. Bits of cinnamon and butter form a crust on top that’s downright sinful.

Ingredients:
1 12.5-ounce French baguette
8 large eggs
1 cup milk
3⁄4 cup heavy cream
3⁄4 cup packed light brown sugar, divided
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons (1⁄2 stick) unsalted butter, cold
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Maple syrup

Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Cut the baguette into 1⁄2-inch slices and layer in the prepared baking dish. Add the eggs, milk, heavy cream, 1⁄4 cup of the brown sugar, the vanilla, cinnamon, and 1⁄4 teaspoon of the salt to a large bowl, whisking to combine. Pour over the bread.

3. Add the remaining 1⁄2 cup brown sugar, the flour, butter, cinnamon, and the remaining 1⁄4 teaspoon salt to a medium bowl. With a fork or pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the butter is combined with the flour and the mixture resembles small peas. Sprinkle evenly over the bread. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the eggs are set. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve drizzled with maple syrup.
