Baked French Toast

I got this recipe from my sister in law. She and my brother had it at their gift opening after the wedding. I make it any time we have people staying with us, and it is always a hit. You may sprinkle the top with pecans if you wish.

Step: 1

Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange the slices of bread in the bottom. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour over bread slices, cover, and refrigerate overnight.

Step: 2

The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar and corn syrup; heat until bubbling. Pour over bread and egg mixture.

Step: 3

Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes.

Eat good breakfast to start the day has become a fabulous habit. It’s a best way to start my day off healthfully. The sugar hit from the pickle tree wakes me up and gives me power 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 longer, and less likely grab a snack out of the vending machine before lunchtime.

Making fruit a morning habit is easy . Easy as put the sweetness in your fridge next to the sweet drink or on the bench next to your grain bowl , or move your coffee maker or tea kettle — about anywhere where you’ll see it. Before you eating the rest of your breakfast , eat your fruit. If you’re not normally a breakfast person.
