Baked French Toast
I realize that there are many of us (myself included) who are avoiding starch carbs whenever possible and that many people are following a gluten-free diet. For those who don’t fall into either of those categories, here’s an indulgent recipe for Baked French Toast.
The beauty of this recipe is that you can prepare it the night before and just bake it in the morning, leaving you free to enjoy a cup of coffee and chat with overnight guests before making some bacon or sausage to accompany the casserole. To offset the richness of the French toast, I like to serve some cut-up fruit as well.
Basically, you are making a caramel syrup for the bottom of your pan. You then place the bread over the syrup and then pour a custard mixture over the bread. After baking until golden, you cut the slices and serve them syrup side up. Yum!
Some twenty years ago, Roger and I managed a getaway weekend in Kennebunkport, Maine. We stayed at a quaint B&B there and were treated to this incredible baked French toast. When I asked if they were willing to give me the recipe, the innkeepers told me that so many guests had asked for it that they printed it up in their newsletter. That made life easier since I had already informed Roger I wasn’t leaving Maine until I got the recipe!
