Baked Hasselback French Toast
Love, love this french toast, it can be made ahead or ready in an hour. It is crispy on the edges and soft and creamy on the inside. This is so simple you are going to be wondering why haven’t I always baked it this way. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good french bread casserole but always missed the crispy edges you get when you make it on the stovetop. With this recipe you don’t have to miss a thing. It is the best of two worlds.
Baked Hasselback French Toast
Baked Hasselback French Toast served with a blueberry orange syrup.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread
- 1 1/2 eggs per serving
- 2 tablespoons milk per serving
- !Blueberry Orange Syrup
- 2 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade
Instructions
- Cut the ends from the french bread. Make 2 cuts 1 inch apart in the bread for each for each serving. Do not cut through the bread all of way.
- Mix the eggs and milk together. Pour into a plastic bag. Add the bread pieces. Remove as much of the air in the bag as you can. Coat the bread with the egg mixture, turning it several times. Refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
- Take bread out of bag carefully. Put on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. If all the egg isn't absorbed, pour it over the inside cracks. Let set until absorbed, a few minutes.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
- To make syrup, put all the ingredients into a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened.

It was delicious! Hope you try it. It is a great way to make french toast for a group.
What a great way to make french toast. I love all that delicious blueberry orange syrup!
The syrup was my favorite. I love blueberries and citrus together!
Now this is my idea of a breakfast! Yum! Love that you used orange marmalade with the blueberries…great idea!
Thanks Kristin!
I wish I had some of this right now for lunch! Looks amazing!!
I had this for lunch, wish I could of shared.
You are so right! I need this in my life, and those crispy edges. Yummy.
The crispy edges were the best part!
This is such a clever idea! I make french casseroles all the time, but have never thought to make it hasselback style using the entire loaf. Much less work too. 😉
I saw it somewhere on Pinterest and didn’t save the link so I made up my own. Way less work and does not need to set overnight.
You just stop if right now. This looks KILLER!!!! Breakfast is my favorite meal and I would have this gladly ANY day!
LOL… I love breakfast too. This is going to be made often!
I had to see how you made this. Genius idea to make it in the oven. I need to make asap!
Yes you do too! I can see a whole new wave of Hasselback French Toast coming. I am going to try a new one tomorrow.
