Recipe Introduction


What could be easier? Bread soaks overnight in the batter and puffs up in the oven. Serve hot with warmed maple syrup or a dusting of cinnamon and powdered sugar.





List of Ingredients



• Butter for greasing pan
  
• 8 to 10 thick slices of egg bread or challah bread (1" thick), cut in half (triangular), or 6 to 8 croissants
  
• 8 eggs
  
• 1 cup milk
  
• 1/2 cup whipping cream
  
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  
• 1/2 cup sugar
  
• 3 T flour
  
• 2 tsp baking powder
  
• 1/8 tsp salt
  
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  






Instructions



1. Cut bread into triangles. Set aside. Grease a 9x13-inch Pyrex pan or 5-quart oven proof ceramic casserole.
   
2. In a large bowl, stir all ingredients together. Soak bread for a few minutes in this batter. Arrange bread slices in pan. Pour remaining batter over.
   
3. Cover lightly and refrigerate overnight.
   
4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake 20 minutes. Lower the oven to 350 degrees. Bake 10 more minutes, until French toast is browned on top.
   
5. Dust with powdered sugar and a touch of cinnamon.
