Easy Sheet Pan French Toast is made by dipping the bread into a custard batter and baking on a sheet pan in the oven. It makes it so much easier to make homemade french toast! Top this Oven Baked French Toast with a sweet Mascarpone Cream and Sweetened Fresh Fruit.
We are making early morning breakfasts so much easier with this Sheet Pan French Toast Recipe! Instead of standing over a hot skillet, flipping 2-3 pieces of french toast at a time, you can cook about 10-12 slices at one time! This is a genius way to spend time when making breakfast for family or when you are having guests over.
You are going to love this super simple french toast recipe! Oh, and if you top it with sweetened mascarpone cream, you are going to be absolutely smitten.

I love to top this Oven Baked French Toast with a sweet Mascarpone Cream or sweet Ricotta Cream and fresh sweetened fruit.
What bread should I use for Oven Baked French Toast?
I suggest using a thicker bread like brioche, challah, or a Texas Toast. The brioche and challah are richer types of bread with the addition of butter and eggs and a touch of sugar so when you use a brioche bread, the sheet pan french toast recipe is much richer and more decadent. You can even use a cream cheese swirled brioche which tastes delicious!
How to make Sheet Pan French Toast:
- Start by preheating the oven and spraying your sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray. A little tip is to make sure it is completely coated with non-stick cooking spray as french toast loves to stick to pans!
- In a bowl, mix together whole milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and cinnamon. I like to use a whisk to make sure the eggs are incorporated and there are no brown sugar clumps.
- There are two ways you can dip the bread into the custard mixture. You can either dip each slice into the bowl of custard and then place it on the sheet pan or you can pour the custard onto a baking sheet and press each side of bread into the custard until it is coated.
- Bake for about 7-8 minutes per side or until it is a perfect light golden color.
- Make a creamy sweet mascarpone or ricotta cream topping and top with sweetened fresh fruit and syrup.
My favorite baking sheets are from USA PAN and Nordicware. They are always heavy and light-colored.

Sheet Pan French Toast
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Brioche* Bread (sliced)
- 2 cups Whole Milk
- 4 large Eggs
- 4 Tablespoons Melted Salted Butter
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 to 3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
Sweet Mascarpone Cream:
- 4 ounces Mascarpone Cream (may substitute ricotta cheese or cream cheese)
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
Fresh Fruit tossed in Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Generously spray a sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the french toast doesn't stick to the pan. You can also add some melted butter on top of the non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture and turn it to coat. Another option is to pour the custard onto the baking sheet and turn the bread slices to coat each side.
- Bake for about 6-8 minutes per side. After baking for about 7 minutes, carefully remove the pan from the oven and flip the bread slices. Return the baking sheet to the oven and cook for another 6-8 minutes. *Since oven temperatures vary, it will depend on your oven so watch closely. Look for the french toast to turn a light golden brown color. You don't want to overbake.
- Place french toast slices on a plate and top with syrup, powdered sugar, sweet mascarpone cream, and sweetened fresh fruit.
Sweet Mascarpone Cream:
- In a medium mixing bowl, whip mascarpone cheese and heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold in powdered sugar and vanilla.
- Toss fresh fruit with sugar in a bowl. Let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the sugar to bring out the sweetness of the fruit.

I’m a pancake person but this French toast recipe was delicious. I followed the instructions to the T but I did finish “browning” the slices on the stove to get that buttery toasty look. My boys had a sleepover and it was so easy to feed them quickly. They all approved. Thank you 😊
This was great! Super easy and I like how it crisped up around the edges in the oven. Have you ever done two batches at once?
Plenty wordy, but doesn’t tell what temperature to set the oven!
Hi Jules! You must have missed it — the oven temperature is listed on the recipe card in the instructions at the very top — 425 degrees.
I loved this recipe! So easy to feed a group. I left it in longer than you said to get it a little crispier and I thought it was perfect. Great recipe!
I doubled the recipe and it fed 10 people – everyone loved it! I did use the broiler at the end for a couple of minutes to crisp the toast
The easiest recipe! So good!
The cream on the top was to die for! And love how easy it was to make…
Thank you for this!❤ Not only is iteasy and delicious but I can finally sit down and enjoy a hot breakfast WITH my family!
