French Toast Bake | Recipe Sharing Community
The best part is that it is made the day before so there is no fuss on the day you consume it....perfect for a Sunday afternoon or brunch. http://recipesharingcommunity.blogspot.ca/2013/04/french-toast-bake-recipe-sharing.html
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 loaf Texas toast
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Powdered sugar for sprinkling
Method
- Crack eggs & get them started (on low)
- Melt butter in microwave
- Add brown sugar & stir together
- Pour mixture into 9 x 13 pan
- Spread evenly to cover bottom of pan
- Add milk & vanilla to egg mixture
- Add 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar to egg mixture
- Spread even layer of Texas Toast on butter/sugar layer
- I cut off the crusts...this is NOT necessary....I just think it looks nicer...it was for a bridal shower-
- After you have 1 even layer, ladle on 1/2 of egg mixture
- Sprinkle brown sugar & cinnamon before next layer
- Spread second layer of Texas Toast
- Ladle second half of egg mixture
- Spread thin layer of butter
- Sprinkle lightly with white sugar & cinnamon (I think the butter & sugar help give the final product a crusty top....I could easily be wrong....but it sure doesn't hurt the flavor....and since this recipe is far from figure friendly...then why not?)
- Refrigerate overnight
- Bake at 350 for 45 minutes
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar
- Top should be crusty, middle should be soft & moist, & bottom is just glorious!
- The recipe calls for eating it with warm maple syrup. I did not do this....it would be way too sweet....instead, I added the Tablespoon of powdered sugar in the egg mixture.
- I personally feel that eating it upside down is the way to go.....that way you don't waste any of the sticky bits of heaven on the plate
