    Sheet Pan French Toast Breakfast

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    All you need for a full french toast breakfast is 5 ingredients, 15 minutes, and a sheet pan. This easy breakfast meal is perfect for one or two people and takes hardly any effort. The perfect kind of breakfast!

    two slices of french toast next to cooked crispy bacon and sunny side up eggs on a plate

    Ever since my oldest started going back to school, it's just been the three of us here, and while we like meals, I don't like cooking larger portions when it's basically just us two adults eating as my 3-year-old doesn't eat much in the mornings.

    So sheet pan breakfasts (or more like brunches) have totally become a thing around here. I already enjoy our sheet pan grilled cheese sandwiches during the afternoons, but breakfast has gotten pretty inventive.

    Why This Recipe Works

    1. A full meal, fast! French toast, bacon, and eggs all on the same sheet pan, cooking to the perfect temperatures and in minutes flat. It doesn't really get easier than that.
    2. One pan, one mess. This baked french toast for two with sides is an awesome way to make a filling meal without much hassle. My favorite part is the easy clean-up!
    3. It's delicious. Crispy bacon, perfectly cooked eggs, and crispy soft french toast. Everything is so good you may want to use a second pan for additional servings.

    🥘 Ingredients

    Eggs- You will need eggs for the french toast mixture as well as for the sunny side up eggs.

    Sandwich Bread- Use your favorite sandwich bread or sliced bread for this french toast recipe. Note that thicker bread may require a longer cooking time.

    Cinnamon- For added warmth of spice, add some cinnamon to your french toast mixture.

    Vanilla Extract- A flavor enhancer for your french toast.

    Bacon- Use thick or thin cut bacon depending on what you have on hand or prefer, but if it's thin cut, you'll want to keep a closer eye on it so that it doesn't burn.

    For specific quantities, see the recipe card below.

    🔪 Instructions

    Check out how to make sheet pan french toast breakfast with these simple step-by-step instructions:

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

    Lay 4 strips of bacon along the side on a greased large baking sheet.

    Place the baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes.

    While the bacon is cooking, prepare your french toast mixture.

    Whisk together the eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla in a pie plate or shallow bowl until well blended.

    Remove bacon from oven.

    Dip a slice of bread in the bowl and evenly coat both sides.

    Lay the four pieces of french toast along the opposite side of the baking sheet.

    Place in oven for 5 minutes.

    Remove the pan from the oven. Flip the french toast over so that the other side can be cooked.

    Remove the bacon if it is cooked to your liking and let it rest on a plate covered with foil or leave it on the pan if you want it more crispy.

    Crack 4 eggs in the center of the pan. Be careful as you apply the eggs to the pan as they might slide if your pan is bent.

    Cook for an additional 5-8 minutes depending on how well done you like your eggs. 5 minutes will give you a soft yolk (over easy), whereas 8 minutes will be a "fried hard" result.

    Remove the baking sheet from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy.

    📖 Variations

    Adding hashbrowns

    You can add frozen hashbrowns in the center of the baking sheet in a long line going the same direction as the bacon. Don't let the hashbrowns take up too much space because you need room for the bacon and french toast.

    Add the hashbrowns to the baking sheet at the same time that you add the bacon. Add a few small pads of butter on top of the hashbrowns and then cook as directed. When it's time to add the eggs, just make a few "holes" in the cooked hashbrowns to accommodate the eggs like a nest.

    If you like the hashbrowns extra crispy, bake for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet before adding the bacon. Flip the hashbrowns over to cook the other side and then continue along with the recipe as directed.

    Adding breakfast sausage

    You can omit the bacon and use breakfast sausage patties or links or do a combination of the two for an extra meaty breakfast meal. The bacon and the links will cook for about the same amount of time so add your links to the sheet pan at the same time you're directed to add the bacon. Follow along with the steps as directed.

    🧾 Substitutions

    Make french toast sticks

    If you don't have that many slices of bread in the pantry or want to use a heartier slice of bread for your french toast (like brioche), you can stretch them to fit well on your baking sheet by cutting them into sticks.

    Simply cut your bread into 2 inch long strips. Dip in the egg mixture so it's well coated and place on the baking sheet. Cook as directed, making sure to flip them over when adding the eggs.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    How to scale this recipe down to make french toast for one. To scale this recipe down all you'll need is two slices of bread, 2 slices of hashbrowns, and 4 eggs. 2 eggs will go into the egg mixture and two eggs will be cooked sunny side up. You will also only need ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon and a splash of vanilla. The cooking times and temperature will not change.

    What types of bread work best for french toast. I normally grab regular sandwich bread and use that for french toast as we almost always have it on hand. That said, my all-time favorite bread to use is actually sliced sourdough like in my Sourdough French Toast recipe. It gives it an almost "buttermilk" taste that makes it feel restaurant-quality good!

    👩🏻‍🍳 Storage

    Keep your leftovers stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat before eating. Leftover french toast can also be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    💭 FAQs

    What goes with French toast for breakfast?

    French toast goes great with the breakfast basics like eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, and sausage but it also pairs well with fresh fruits and whipped cream too.

    Should I leave bread out overnight for French toast?

    Many chefs will say yes or to take a moment and dry your bread before using, but I'll be honest- I never do. I just grab a sandwich slice and whip up an egg mixture. Let the bread soak in the mixture for a few seconds and you'll still get a custard-like filling with caramelized outsides as intended.

    How to reheat french toast

    You can reheat french toast by placing it on a plate and microwaving a slice or two at a time for a minute to a minute and a half. You can also place it in the oven at 200 degrees F for about 5 minutes.
