I was asked to post this recipe...
French Toast Casserole
Has a similar flavor to Monkey Bread, but more eggy, and less work...
Ingredients
1 (1 pound) loaf French bread, it might not all fit, so have something Italian for dinner, and make garlic bread (that's what I did
)
8 eggs
1 1/2 cups 2% milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp corn syrup
Chopped Walnuts (optional)
Raisins (optional)
Directions
1. Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cut up bread into chunks and arrange in the bottom. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla and cinnamon ( I whurr it up in my blender). Pour over bread slices, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
2. The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sprinkle top of casserole with the walnuts or the raisins, or both, or neither. In a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar and corn syrup; heat until bubbling. Pour over bread and egg mixture.
3. Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes.
4. Be prepared for a sugar rush! It's yumm-o!
