The best of everything baked french toast

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Stick butter; ( 1/2 cup)
1 cup Brown sugar
¼ cup Maple syrup
Sliced bread (preferably french or cinnamon raisin; feel free to experiment
Cream cheese
Berries or thinly sliced; peeled apples
Walnuts or pecans; chopped, or sliced almonds
6 Eggs
cup Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Place butter, brown sugar and maple syrup in a dish that can go in the microwave and in a conventional oven. Microwave until butter is melted (about two minutes). Stir to dissolve sugar and mix ingredients well.

Sprinkle nuts over this mixture.

For one 9" x 12" pan:

Spread cream cheese on half of the bread slices. Place berries or apple slices on this, then top with the plain bread slices to make a "sandwich".

Cut in half diagonally. Place in baking pan. Do not overlap slices.

Mix eggs, milk and vanilla. Pour over bread. Milk may have to be incresed depending on dryness and density of bread.

Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake at 350° for about 45 minutes, uncovered. Flip over to serve, so the syrup side is up.

Can top with powdered sugar, fruit or additional syrup, if desired.
