Baked Filled French Toast
Add small dollops or slices of cold cream cheese over bread, liberally.
For a variation also spread a fruit preserve, or other cooked fruits
(peaches, baked cinnamon apples, pears,etc.) Add second layer of
bread.
Beat together 6 large eggs
- 1-1/2 c. half and half
- 1-1/2 c. milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/8 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
You may substitute some of the liquid for 1/4 c. maple syrup. Pour
over bread in pan, cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours.
Take out 1/2 hour before baking to warm - then prepare and add topping:
- 1/2 c. melted butter or margarine
- 2 Tbsp. dark corn syrup
- 1 c. brown sugar
- 1 c. chopped pecans
Spread over top of soaked bread. Bake at 350 degrees about
40 minutes, or until clearly set in middle - it will puff up - put
a cookie sheet underneath to avoid spills in oven. Take out of oven
and allow to rest for 5 minutes or so before slicing and serving
to aid in preserving shape of slice. Keeps well on hot serving plate.
This will serve six easily, especially with other foods for breakfast.
It is very tasty! It also works as a dessert with ice cream with
the leftovers! (alternate filling) CABERNET CRANBERRIES
Mix and bring to boil 1-1/4 c. sugar and 1 c. Cabernet Sauvignon
wine. Add 1 12-ounce package fresh cranberries, 2 tsp. grated orange
or tangerine rind (zest), 1 cinnamon stick, and a liberal sprinkling
of cinnamon and nutmeg. You may use part white and part brown sugar
for a rich taste. Return mixture to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce
heat and simmer, partly covered, 10 to 15 minutes or until cranberry
skins pop. Remove and discard cinnamon stick. Serve warm as topping
for pancakes, waffles, pound cake, ice cream, cheesecake, cream
cheese bars with crackers, and as an alternate filling for the Baked
French Toast recipe above - I use walnuts with that variation in
the French Toast.
