Hasselback Baked French Toast Recipe

A baked french toast with loads of crunchy brown bits that’s smooth and custardy on the within (not soggy!). Made with baguettes (french stick), it followers out like hasselback potatoes, creating excellent crevices to pour the maple syrup into!

“Whenever you serve this, it followers out like “hasselback potatoes”, making excellent crevices to pour maple syrup into.”

I do know the identify of this recipe is a bit odd however I really can’t consider a greater option to describe it. This french toast bake is made utilizing baguette (french stick bread) which is sliced virtually all over then soaked with an egg combination. It’s fairly completely different to the standard technique which entails cubes of bread or layering slices of bread in a baking dish.

The top consequence can also be fairly completely different as a result of there’s a increased crunch issue than traditional french toast bakes which, after you get by the highest layer, are smooth and custardy beneath. Whereas with this Hasselback Baked French Toast, there are extra ridges and floor space so that you get extra of the attractive crunchy bits (which, let’s face it, are one of the best bits of any dish!).

The factor that “seals the deal” for me is that while you serve it out, it followers out like hasselback potatoes (therefore the identify!). So while you pour maple syrup over it, it will get proper into all of the crevices so each bit is an ideal steadiness of candy, buttery, custardy goodness coated with maple syrup and with loads of crunchy brown bits.

“This french toast bake has the next crunch issue than the standard as a result of it’s not made with layers of bread soaked with egg combination.”

The fantastic thing about this dish is which you can make it for 4 or 12 folks with little further effort! Simply multiply the recipe and use a bigger baking dish. The baking time doesn’t enhance considerably as a result of this bake will not be as “soaked by” as with different french toast bakes. The bread itself could be very custardy, however it isn’t sitting in a pool of egg combination (does that make sense??).

The brown crunchy bits are all the time one of the best – and this french toast has loads of it! 🙂
