Title: French Toast 10

rec.food.recipes archive

Baked French Toast
 
4 slices bread (cinnamon, brioche, egg bread or sourdough) sliced 1/2" thick
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
about 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
 
Mix liquids thoroughly.
 
Put bread in baking pan that's large enough to accommodate
bread--slices barely touching.  Pour liquid over.  Let soak as
little as 15 minutes, but overnight in refrigerator is much better.
When time to bake, spray another pan or cookie sheet with pam, move
slices with spatula (they'll be really fragile).  Bake at 350 about
25 minutes.  Sometimes cooks more quickly; sometimes takes a bit
longer.  Depends how thick you've sliced the bread.
 
I often sprinkle finely chopped pecans or sliced almonds over top
before baking.  Serve with maple syrup or marvelous jam.
