Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Sheet Pan French Toast
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a large non-stick rimmed half sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium bowl until smooth.
  3. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared sheet pan and place brioche bread slices in a single layer, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them sit for about 1 minute to soak up the flavors.
  4. Flip the bread slices after a minute to ensure all sides are soaked. Allow to absorb for another 3 to 5 minutes for the perfect custard-like center.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes on the lower rack, checking for golden brown color starting at 8 minutes.
  6. Carefully flip the slices over using a spatula and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the second side is golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, slice, and serve warm with your favorite toppings.
