Savory French toast is something you’ll always look forward to waking up to! You can throw it together the night before, and you’ll be SO glad you did.
I was SO happy that you guys seemed to be as excited about this savoury overnight French toast bake as I am when I posted about it on Instagram.
I’ve been a fan of sweet overnight French toast bakes with berries and cream cheese, etc., for a while. But my sweet tooth will never dominate my savory tooth, so I don’t know what took me so long to make savory French toast!
I used half of one of these French loaves from Safeway.
I made my savory French toast in a loaf pan which makes enough for two really big servings or three servings. If you want to make a bigger portion, it’s easy to just double the ingredients and use a bigger pan!
Just before it went into the fridge for the night.
I know most of my readers are American, but in Canada it was Thanksgiving this past weekend, and I made this with the leftover bread I didn’t need for stuffing and served it for Thanksgiving brunch! Fast forward two days and I made it again because I liked it so much – hope you do too!

NOTES:
*If you've never cooked with Gruyere before, don't be put off by it's semi-strong smell when you're shredding or cooking it. It has a very mild taste! **In a non-convection oven, it will take about 45 minutes to bake, cover with tinfoil for the last 15 minutes.
I hope you love it – I know I do!

Aww amazing!!! I’ve loved following your blog – your amazing recipes (many of which I’ve tried and loved!), beautiful photos and refreshing writing! I’m looking forward to your new cookbook – what an awesome work! Congratulations!
Your ear wax ads before the recipe and on the recipe are very unappetizing. Who puts an earwax ad in the middle of a recipe.

Not me — I don’t really have control over that 🙁
Can you substitute heavy cream for the milk? If so how much?
I’ve never tried! It would probably work fine to use the same amount, it would just be extra rich!
