If you're looking for a delicious yet simple breakfast, this Sheet Pan French Toast recipe is just what you're looking for!
With just a few simple ingredients and a sheet pan, you can whip up a batch of delicious French toast that will leave your family wanting more.

How to Make Sheet Pan French Toast
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
Adjust 1 oven rack to the middle position, 5 to 6 inches from the broiler. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Generously sprays a 13'' x 18''x 1'' sheet pan with baking spray; set aside.
Whisk the eggs, half-and-half, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, kosher salt, and melted butter in a medium bowl until combined. Soak each bread for about 30 seconds, then flip it over to coat the other side, turning once.
Arrange the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet (2 rows of 4 slices lengthwise or 3 rows of 4 slices lengthwise). Alternatively, you can pour the egg mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Next, place bread slices on a baking sheet. Then, working quickly, flip each slice in the same order you placed them on the baking sheet. Let bread sit until slices absorb the custard, about 1 minute.
Bake the French toast until it is puffed and begins to brown for 14 to 15 minutes. Check the toast every 30 seconds so it doesn't get too dark.
Use oven mitts to transfer the baking sheet to the upper rack and heat the broiler.
Broil until the tops of slices are golden brown, 1 minute; watch carefully to prevent burning! Serve the sheet pan french toast with a sprinkle of confectioners' sugar and a drizzle of syrup and fruit preserve on the side if desired.
