Anyone know what temp and how long to put french toast in the oven in the stoneware bar pan?
 
wow I thought I had heard it all!! LOLWhat is the recipe you use for this? Will you share please?
 
I'd like to know how to do this too! Never heard of it!
 
I think the oven baked French Toast was in the old stoneware sensations...however, I can only find my stoneware inspirations cookbook... :(
 
If you don't get an answer, I'd try 350 degrees. My guess is about 30 minutes but maybe check at 15 and see how you're doing and add in increments of 5 minutes until it looks done. Longer should make it more crispy...

OK, I just guessed and did it at my show yesterday. I had it at about 400 for about 10-12 minutes and they were WAY overdone. I'd recommend 350 for 10-12 minutes. Also, put butter on while they're cooking, that could keep it from getting too crisp.
 
Is it different tasting enough to be worth the time difference of grilling them??? Or is the point that you're not grilling them, using a ton of butter, etc?
