Baked French Toast

BAKED FRENCH TOAST

I like to treat myself and the family to an extra special breakfast Saturday or Sunday morning.  Try this sometime soon!

1 loaf French Bread – slice 1 1/2-2 inches thick

Place bread slices in a 13X9 buttered pan close together.

6 large eggs

1 1/2 cup milk (full fat is best)

1 cup milk, half/half or cream

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

Mix together and pour over bread. Cover with foil and put in refrigerator overnight.  Topping:  1/4 cups soft butter  1/2 cup brown sugar  1/2 cup chopped nuts – optional  1 Tbsp honey.

Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over entire casserole dish. Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees  or until puffed and golden. Serve with maple syrup and butter, fresh fruit in season, turkey sausage or nitrate free bacon.
