Ingredients

  • Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick, butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 loaf bread I used a 16 oz loaf of Italian bread cut into 1/2″ cubes
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Cut butter into 1/2″ cubes and place at the bottom of a 9×13 pan. Place into a cold oven and preheat oven to 350. As the oven preheats the butter will melt. Leave butter to melt for 5-6 minutes and remove from oven. Stir until completely melted.

  • Pour egg mixture evenly over bread. Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes or until egg in center is set. Let set for five minutes before serving. To serve, scoop out of the bowl and flip over so the brown sugar is on the top.

Notes

Make sure that you are turning the French Toast Bake upside down so that the brown sugar/cinnamon is on top. This really helps with the presentation and I think it tastes better this way. If you’d like, you can top with powdered sugar and/or some fresh whipped cream! And as always, used all natural/organic syrup. Life is too short to use that stuff with all the high fructose corn syrup!
