Apple Raisin French Toast Strata

A simple but elegant way to make breakfast fast. Put together the night before, and bake while you’re in the shower. Serve with lots of extra maple syrup! You may also add extra raisins if you wish.

Step: 1

Coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange 1/2 of the cubed raisin bread in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the cream cheese evenly over the bread, and top with the apples. If you like extra raisins, add them now. Top with remaining bread.

Step: 2

In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the cream, butter, and maple syrup. Pour over the bread mixture. Cover with plastic wrap, and press down so that all bread pieces are soaked. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Step: 3

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step: 4

Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Eating best breakfast to continue the day has become a good habit. It’s a best way to start my 24 hours off healthfully. The sweet hit from the fruit wakes me up and gives me energy to take on the morning. The sweetness is more vilified as the root of all disease, but sweetness is also loaded with fibre, which is best for your digestive system and helps keep you feel full all day , and less likely grab a side food out of the street food before break .

Making fruit a morning habit is simple . Easy as put the fruit in your refrigerator next to the milk or on the bench next to your grain pan , or beside your coffee maker or tea kettle — somewhere where you’ll find it. Before you eat the rest of your breakfast , eat your fruit. If you’re not normally a breakfast person.
