Easy Overnight French Toast Bake




Ingredients


1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick)

1 cup brown sugar + 3 Tbsp.

1 loaf Texas Toast

4 eggs

1 1/2 cup milk

1 tsp. vanilla

2 tsp. Cinnamon

1 Tbsp. powder sugar + more for sprinkling

honey or syrup for topping



Directions

1) Put the butter in a microwave safe bowl, melt it in the microwave & add 1 cup of brown sugar. Stir until combined.

2) Pour the mixture evenly over the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan.

3) In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, 1 tbsp. of powdered sugar & vanilla.

4) Place toast bread in a single layer in the pan so it covers the whole area.

5) Pour half the egg-milk mixture over the entire layer of toast bread.

6) In a small bowl, combine the 3 tbsp. of brown sugar & 2 tsp. Cinnamon.

7) Sprinkle half the mixture on a layer of the bread.

8) Then arrange the second layer of bread & pour the rest of the mixture of eggs & milk.

9) Repeat with the rest of the sugar & cinnamon.

10) Cover with aluminum foil & leave in the fridge overnight. (You can leave it for a few hours in the fridge but the best effect is achieved when left overnight.)

11) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

12) Leave the toast at room temp for a few minutes.

13) Put it in the oven & bake for 45 minutes. The first 30 minutes bake with the foil on then bake the last 15 minutes w/o the foil. Bake it until the top is nice and crispy & golden brown and the inside is soft.

14) Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with honey or maple syrup.
