Time 8h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup brown sugar
½ cup butter
1 (8 ounce) loaf crusty French bread, cut into bite-size pieces, or as needed
2 cups milk
6 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pinch ground cinnamon, or to taste
1 tablespoon brown sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish.
  • Stir 1 cup brown sugar and butter together in a saucepan over medium-low heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves into butter, 2 to 4 minutes. Pour into prepared baking dish and spread a 1 1/2- to 2-inch layer of bread pieces over the top.
  • Beat milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; pour milk mixture over bread into the baking dish and move bread as necessary to ensure all bread is absorbing liquid. Sprinkle cinnamon over the top. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Remove and discard plastic wrap from baking dish and sprinkle remaining brown sugar over the top of the bread mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned and bubbling, about 30 minutes.

HEARTY HOMESTYLE FRENCH TOAST



Hearty Homestyle French Toast image

Traditionally, French Toast was a way to turn bread that was going stale and an insufficient supply of eggs into a hearty, hot breakfast. My Dad's farm-derived recipe isn't sweet in itself. Sweetness comes from the syrup or jam on top. OR you might serve it with sausage gravy or milk gravy made from fried ham for a savory flavor instead. This recipe makes enough for a crowd or it can easily be cut down for a smaller group.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 20-25 slices

Number Of Ingredients 17

20 -25 slices whole wheat bread (slightly stale)
4 eggs
2 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
extra cinnamon (optional)
butter
maple syrup (optional)
fruit syrup (optional)
hot cooked fruit (optional)
jam (optional)
sausage gravy (optional)
milk gravy (from fried ham) (optional)
powdered sugar (optional)
cinnamon sugar (optional)
brown sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs in a bowl large enough to hold everything -- preferably one with a pouring spout.
  • Beat in the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar.
  • Heat a griddle and butter lightly.
  • Pour some of the mix into a wide, shallow dish that will hold a slice of bread.
  • Dip both sides of a slice of bread into the mix and lay it on the griddle. Fill the griddle.
  • Cook slices until nicely browned, flip and brown the other side.
  • Repeat with the rest of the bread. Be sure to beat the mix a few strokes before each refilling of the shallow dish. Add extra cinnamon if too much gets stuck to the early slices.
  • Serve with a choice of your favorite toppings.
