Nothing starts a day off better than French Toast, right?? Unless maybe it was French Toast in France. Maybe one day...for now this will have to do. Isn't it pretty? I was quite impressed! The kids not so much (nuts and "weird bread" were the problems with this recipe) so I thought y'all might appreciate it more.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup (4 Tablespoons) butter, melted
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 loaf brioche or challah bread (French toast can also be sliced 1 1/2 inches thick)
8 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup 2% milk
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/8 teaspoon salt
Syrup and powdered sugar for topping
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl combine brown sugar and melted butter and pour on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
Combine milk, eggs, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and ginger in a bowl and pour evenly over bread slices.
Dip each slice of bread into egg mixture.
Arrange slices of bread in the baking dish overlapping if necessary.
Sprinkle chopped pecans over bread slices.
Bake for 30-35 minutes. If top starts browning too quickly place foil loosely over the top of the casserole for the last 10 minutes or so. You want it to cook long enough to make sure the bottom part is cooked but don't dry it out completely.
