BAKED FRENCH TOAST

July 2, 2008 |

1 (13- to 14-inch-long) loaf of soft-crust supermarket Italian bread
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 2/3 cups whole milk
3 tablespoons sugar

Accompaniment: pure maple syrup
Cut 12 (1-inch-thick) diagonal slices from bread, reserving ends for another use.

Generously butter 1 side of each slice and arrange slices, buttered sides up, in 1 layer in a buttered 13- by 9- by 2-inch glass baking dish, squeezing them slightly to fit if necessary.

Whisk together eggs, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until combined well, then pour evenly over bread. Chill, covered, until bread has absorbed all of custard, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day, depending on bread.

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Bring mixture to room temperature and sprinkle bread with sugar.

Bake, uncovered, in middle of oven until bread is puffed and top is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.

One other suggestion, serve with icecream. The perfect way to eat French Toast

I just love French toast. I don’t get around often to making them, but when I get a chance to order them at a restaurant I don’t hesitate. I will definitely try this recipe and see how it comes out.

One of my favourite dishes! I will French Toast for my kids and wife sometimes in the morning for breakfast, simple, easy to make and yet full of essential nutrient for the body.
