Recipe Introduction
Got this really good breakfast from the Costco Connection, November 2010 issue. It is so good for breakfast.
List of Ingredients
French Toast:
8 cups break cubes/crumbs
3 apples, peeled and chopped
8 oz. softened cream cheese
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 cup Apple juice
1 tsp. vanilla, divided
1/2 cup toffee bits
5 eggs
3/4 cup mild
Apple Syrup:
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 c. apple juice
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
5 Tbsp. butterRecipe
To make the French Toast:
Place half of the bread cubes in a grested 13 x 9 inch baking pan; top with apples. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugars, apple juice, and 1 tsp. of vanilla until smooth. Stir in toffee bits. Spread over apples. Top with remaining bread cubes.
In another large bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and 1 tsp. vanilla until well blended. Pour over bread. Cover with foil, and refrigerate overnight.
Remove pan from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake, uncovered at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
While the french toast is baking, prepare the syrup.
To make the syrup:
In a medium sized saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, apple juice, and lemon juice. Heat to a boil, whisking constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Stir in butter. Serve over warm french toast.
(Note: wait until everything is heated before adding cornstarch. Take a little bit out of the pan, and put it into a cup. Add the cornstarch to the small cup of liquid and stir it. Then pour back into the pan.)
Makes 8 servings.
Can put a dallop of whipped cream over the concoction too!
