Low Sugar Sheet Pan French Toast

Cook time25 min

Golden brioche slices soak up a rich egg-and-cream custard until fully saturated, then bake on a sheet pan until the tops turn deep golden brown and the centers set to a soft, springy finish. Warm cinnamon and a touch of nutmeg give every bite that cozy, bakery-style aroma, while the melted butter drizzled over the top helps each slice crisp at the edges as it bakes. Because the whole batch cooks together in the oven instead of one skillet slice at a time, you get an even, custardy texture across every piece with a lot less standing over the stove. Finish with a dusting of powdered sugar or a warm drizzle of maple syrup, and it plates up like a brunch centerpiece with almost no extra effort. It's a great make-ahead option for a crowd, and it fits neatly into an added sugar free spread without sacrificing that classic French toast comfort.
