There are other versions of French Toast posted elsewhere on this blog, but here in Kansas City, it's a snow day and a great day for morning/afternoon comfort food, so this is certainly worth repeating! Since we're snowed in, this recipe leaves a large margin for creativity if you don't have the exact ingredients on hand! Play with your food today and ENJOY!
5 cups bread cubes (larger cubes as the smaller ones get mushy)
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup white sugar, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon margarine, softened
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In your 8 x 8 baking dish, beat together eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt and vanilla. Add bread cubes. Dot with margarine; let stand for 10 minutes.
Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon over the top. Bake about 50 - 60 minutes, until top is golden and center is set.
*** Use any type of bread, muffin, roll, bagel. Leftover cinnamon rolls (yeah right, not at my house!) and Honey Buns are fabulous this.
***Have leftover eggnog or other flavored milk? Substitute that for part of your milk!
***Top the finished product with sliced fresh fruit or drizzle pancake syrup over it.
***Substitute brown sugar for the white sugar in the custard mixture.
