Overnight French Toast

By , About.com Guide

If you are serving brunch this weekend, make sure to include this French Toast. It's so easy, it's made the night before, and it's delicious.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 2 Tbsp. heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 loaf French bread, sliced 1" thick
  • 5 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

Preparation:

Combine the honey, cream, butter, and brown sugar in a small saucepan and simmer until the sugar has melted, stirring frequently. Pour this mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.

Place the bread slices over the sugar-butter mixture in the dish. In large bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and salt; pour this mixture over the bread. Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight.

The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Uncover the pan and bake for 45 minutes. Serve while hot or warm, since the French toast will harden in the pan. It can be reheated.
