Foodie Friday: French Toast Bake

The husband and I don't normally eat a big breakfast except on Saturday and when he told me he found a recipe on Facebook, I was a little shocked! Super easy to make and yummy. It does have to chill over night in the fridge.

 

French Toast Bake

 Ingredients:
1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick)
1 cup brown sugar
1 loaf of thickly sliced bread...
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Powdered sugar for sprinkling
Cinnamon for sprinkling

Directions:
1. Melt butter in microwave & add brown sugar & mixed.
2. Pour butter/sugar mix into bottom of 9 x 13 pan.
3. Beat eggs, milk, & vanilla
4. Lay single slices of bread in pan
5. Spoon 1/2 of egg mixture on bread layer
6. Sprinkle some cinnamon over bread/eggs
7. Add 2nd layer of sliced bread
8. Spoon on remaining egg mixture
9. Cover & chill in fridge overnight
10. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes (covered for the first 30 minutes)

We ate it without powdered sugar and syrup and a couple of pieces of turkey bacon. We are going to try it out this weekend by substituting Splenda Brown Sugar Blend for the Brown Sugar.

Happy Friday!
