Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 8 slices French bread (about 1" thick)
  • 4 eggs
  • ¾ cup milk (any kind will do)
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • zest and juice from 2 lemons

Instruction

  • Lightly grease a 9×13" pan or small-rimmed sheet pan, you can also use parchment paper if desired. Place bread slices in a single layer in the greased baking dish. You can squish them a little if need be — ideally you don't want too much extra space around them to prevent the egg mixture from burning.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread slices in the pan. Flip the bread slices so that both sides are covered in egg mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours.
  • Remove plastic wrap and bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and centers are set. Serve with whipped cream and fresh berries if desired.
