When my wife and I hosted a breakfast for our church group, we wanted to avoid the last-minute rush of cooking. So we decided to try this make-ahead French toast. Everyone loved it and requested the recipe. Ingredients:
10 slices day-old french bread (3/4 inch thick) |
6 eggs, lightly beaten |
2-3/4 cups milk |
2/3 cup sugar, divided |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
4 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 tablespoon butter or margarine |
Directions:
1. Place bread in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Combine eggs, milk, 1/3 cup sugar and vanilla; pour half over bread. Top with half of the apples. Combine cinnamon, nutmeg and remaining sugar; sprinkle half over apples. Top with the remaining apples. Pour remaining egg mixture over apples and sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture. Dot with butter. Cover and chill 8 hours or overnight. remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Yield: 4-6 servings.
