A Christmas starter recipe: Morning French Toast.
We need:
a half loaf of French bread, cut diagonally in 1 inch slices
1 cup of milk
4 eggs
0.75 cup of half-and-half cream
0.7 cup of brown sugar
0.25 cup of butter
1 tablespoon of light corn syrup
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
0.25 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
Butter a 9×13 inch baking dish, and then arrange the slices of bread in the bottom.
In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour over the bread slices, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
The following morning, preheat oven to 350F (180C, Gas Mark 4). In a small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup (or golden syrup), and heat until bubbling. Pour over the bread and egg mixture. Bake Christmas Morning French Toast in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes.
