Recipe of the Month: November 2010

Overnight French Toast


This is a very easy breakfast/brunch dish that you prepare the night before and just pop in the oven in the morning! Of course, it's from my favorite recipe website, allrecipes.com! (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Overnight-French-Toast-II/Detail.aspx)



Ingredients:
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1/2 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 (1 pound) loaf French bread, sliced
5 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt


Directions:

1. Combine the corn syrup , butter, and brown sugar in a small saucepan and simmer until the sugar has melted. Pour this mixture over the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
2. Place the bread slices over the sugar-butter mixture in the dish. In a bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and salt; pour this mixture over the bread. Cover the dish and let it stand in the refrigerator overnight.
3. The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4. Uncover the pan and bake for 45 minutes. Serve while hot or warm or the French toast will harden in the pan. It can be reheated.

This is such a great recipe and it's so perfect for having out-of-town guests this Holiday season and providing them with a gourmet breakfast! Let me know if you give it a try!
