Individual Baked French Toast Recipes

Steps:

• For the French toast: Grease the baking pan with butter. Tear the bread into chunks, or cut into cubes, and evenly distribute in the pan. Crack the eggs in a big bowl. Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Pour evenly over the bread. Cover the pan tightly and store in the fridge until needed (overnight preferably).
• For the topping: Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and some nutmeg in a separate bowl. Stir together using a fork. Add the butter and with a pastry cutter, and mix it all together until the mixture resembles fine pebbles. Store in a re-sealable plastic bag in the fridge.
• When you're ready to bake the casserole, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the casserole from the fridge and sprinkle the topping over the top. Bake for 45 minutes for a softer, more bread pudding texture or for 1 hour or more for a firmer, crisper texture.
• Scoop out individual portions. Top with butter and drizzle with warm pancake syrup and sprinkle with blueberries.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease four 5-inch creme brulee ramekins, each with 1/2 tablespoon of the butter.
• Cut the slices of bread in half as you would cut a sandwich (either down the middle or on a diagonal)--you'll use 3 slices for each portion.
• Spread the peanut butter on 4 of the pieces of bread. Spread the jelly on 4 of the remaining pieces and stack them on the peanut butter pieces, laying them slightly askew. Top each stack with 1 piece of the remaining bread. Transfer each to a prepared ramekin.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, the 3 tablespoons brown sugar, the maple syrup, cinnamon and salt together to combine. Gently pour or ladle 1/4 of the mixture over each portion, coating the top layer of bread. If desired, sprinkle each portion with a pinch or two of brown sugar.
• Place the ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the bread looks gently toasted at the edges, but still soft in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve.

Steps:

• Cut bread into 1-in.-thick slices. Arrange in a single layer in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Lightly beat next 6 ingredients; stir in milk and cream. Pour egg mixture over bread, turning once to coat. Refrigerate, covered, overnight., Preheat oven to 375°. Turn bread again to coat. For topping, combine flour, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and, if desired, nutmeg. Sprinkle flour mixture over bread., Bake, uncovered, until a knife inserted in center comes out clean and topping is golden brown, 40-45 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Top with blueberries or raspberries; sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
