Prep our Overnight Creme Brulee Baked French Toast the night before, throw it in the fridge overnight, and bake in the oven the next morning. Each bite literally melts in your mouth! Perfect for Christmas morning or a Sunday brunch.
Overnight Creme Brulee French Toast can be prepped the night before and then all you have to do is bake it in the oven the next morning.
Because it soaks up all the delicious flavor all night long, every bite literally melts in your mouth.
I have also heard of Overnight French Toast being called “Company French Toast”.
It really is the perfect way to feed a lot of people in a short amount of time (as opposed to dipping each individual slice of bread and cooking it on a skillet).
This breakfast is perfect for brunch, Christmas morning, or even when you need a good family breakfast.
Ingredients needed for Overnight Creme Brulee French Toast Bake:
- butter
- brown sugar
- corn syrup
- thick-sliced bread (such as French bread – day-old bread works best for this recipe)
- eggs
- half and half
- salt
- vanilla
- cinnamon
How to make Overnight Creme Brulee French Toast Bake:
To make your creamy sauce that the bread will soak in overnight, you will bring butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup to a boil.
Spread the sticky sauce in the bottom of a large baking sheet (I used a jelly-roll pan that was 18″x13″x1″ – you want to make sure that it has at least a 1″ lip around the edges to keep the sauce from spilling out).
Place the day-old sliced bread in the pan on top of the sauce, making sure to not overlap the slices (you want them to be in a single layer).
Now mix together the eggs, cream, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon and then pour over the top of the slices of bread.
Cover the pan (I used plastic wrap) and place in the fridge overnight.
In the morning, uncover the pan and bake for about 30 minutes for French toast perfection!
You can top your French toast with syrup or fresh berries and cream – or it’s even delicious without any topping.
If you aren’t going to eat this French toast immediately, I recommend flipping each piece in the pan over, to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons corn syrup
- 12 slices thickly sliced bread day-old or stale bread recommended; French bread works great
- 5 eggs
- 1 ½ cups half and half cream
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- dash of cinnamon
Instructions
In a small saucepan melt butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup over medium heat until smooth, stirring occasionally.
Pour mixture onto large, greased jelly roll pan (18x13x1"). Spread around to cover surface.
Place 12 slices of bread in a single layer to cover pan.
Mix together eggs, cream, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon. Spoon mixture over each piece of bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes. Remove from pan and serve.
Top with syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or topping of choice.
Notes
- To get the perfect French toast, I recommend using day-old or stale bread. Sometimes I even cut my bread into slices and let it sit out for a day or two. If you use a fresh loaf of soft bread, you will end up with soggy slices of French toast. I like to use a loaf of French bread for this recipe, but I always make sure that its a day or two old.
- Many times in French toast, the ingredients call for milk. However, because this dish has more of a custard-like texture and flavor, I prefer using full-fat half-and-half. This will give it a rich flavor and each bite will literally melt in your mouth.

I just made this for our Canada breakfast. We don’t have a lot of time before we headed out to the parade, so this was perfect. Made the night before and when I woke up just popped in the oven and finished getting ready. Super easy, quick and delicious.

Momma Tee says:
I had a cold over the weekend and was feeling like my family would be ok with me not bringing this to the family brunch on Christmas.... WRONG!!!! I heard how much everyone looks forward to and saves up calories for this treat and now... guess what's happening tomorrow morning ANOTHER brunch JUST to serve THIS - - Yes, it's that's good. No matter how many other good dishes there are, this is the MAIN event. Lesson Learned - so unless you want to commit to making this forever after, don't start (or just do it for a regular weekend and not big family holiday!!) It's so very very delicious!!!note: if you don't have corn syrup, use honey. :-)

Cyd says:
Hi Momma Tee. You just made our whole year with this sweet comment. This Overnight Creme Brulee French Toast Bake is one of our favorites. That is so funny you are having a second brunch. We absolutely LOVE this! Ha Ha!!! Have a wonderful new year and thanks so much for stopping by SixSistersStuff. We appreciate you!

Ella says:
This recipe is fantastic. I made this for a fishing trip to the cabin a few days before we left. It saved very well. The whole family really enjoyed it. I would recommend letting it cool way down to room temperature because the caramel topping solidifies. Overall great recipe would 100% reccommend

nicole says:
Can you make this 2 days before? I was going to make it Friday and eat it sit until Sunday. Have you ever done that?

Allison C. says:
Loved it! I doubled the recipe and tried french bread and brioche. I also kept one of the pans a little longer to get it toastier to try both textures. Definitely making it again. It was quick and not as messy as regular french toast, and the whole family were fans :)

Do you think this would work if I used half egg nog and half - half&half?

We haven't tried this recipe using egg nog. Keep us posted!

Laura Sadowski says:
Can the Creme Brulee French Toast recipe be cut in half? If so how many eggs are needed? Also can the leftovers be saved for another day, refrigerated & how to reheat? I live alone so the recipe as is would be way too much.
-
Momma Cyd says:
You can easily cut this recipe in half. Just use 2-3 eggs and you'll be fine. We love refrigerating the leftovers and having on another day.
