Easy Overnight Stuffed French Toast Recipe

This Overnight French Toast Recipe is a Keeper!

While I definitely enjoy savory breakfast items, I really love sweet breakfast dishes…especially when bread is involved. If you’re the same way, you need to try this overnight stuffed french toast recipe. It’s not too sweet, not soggy, and not too dry either! It’s a bit like a baked french toast casserole.

Now although I’d gladly eat this overnight french toast any day of the week, this is a really perfect recipe for a Christmas breakfast (or any holiday). It’s extremely convenient to be able to do nearly all of the prep the night before. Then in the morning, you can just throw it in the oven for about 25 minutes and whip up some fresh almond whipped cream topping. Yum!

French Toast Cream Cheese Filling

I really love this cream cheese filling! It is slightly sweet, but with a light, tangy flavor too. Plus, it is easy and simple to whip up.

You can try changing it up a bit by adding fruit or chocolate chips if desired. Keep the filling thick though or your French toast sandwiches will be sliding all over the place.

Spreading on the Cream Cheese Filling

You can keep your French bread slices whole or cut them in half if you want to fit a bit more into one pan. Either way works. Just be sure to slather that cream cheese filling on there in a nice, thick layer. 😉

Pouring the Egg Mixture

Once you’ve got the bread all sliced, slathered, and placed in the pan, it is time to pour on the egg mixture. Mixing it up in a large batter bowl is handy for pouring! Let the bread soak it up for a few minutes, then flip, wrap, and refrigerate.

Final Thoughts & Serving Tips

If you don’t want to make this a day in advance, I think you would still get great results by baking it not long after assembling. Just make sure all of the egg mixture has been soaked up into the bread.

For serving, I highly recommend the almond whipped cream topping! So very delicious and a perfect touch of sweetness with this overnight stuffed French toast. Add some fruit on top and you’ve got a breakfast for champions.
