Baked French Toast
Total preparation time: 15 Minutes
Serves: 8
Ingredients:
# 1 (16 oz) loaf French bread
# 6 large eggs
# 1 ½ cup milk
# ¼ tsp nutmeg
# 1 ½ cup half and half
# 1 tsp vanilla
# 1 tsp cinnamon
Steps:
1. Grease 9x13” glass baking dish. Slice French bread into 1” slices, layer bread in dish. Mix eggs, milk, half and half, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon in a bowl and pour mixture over bread slices. Refrigerate, covered with saran wrap, overnight (not more than 24 hours). One hour before serving, remove baking dish with bread from refrigerator. With the heel of your hand, press down and compress the bread in the baking dish. Remove saran wrap and spread with topping.
2. Topping: Spread ¾ cup brown sugar in a thin layer over the entire top of the bread slices, go all the way to the edges. Melt ¼ cup butter and drizzle over top of brown sugar. Bake, uncovered until puffed and golden, about 40 minutes at 350 degrees. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve with butter and maple syrup on the table.
