FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE
Topped with cinnamon and sugar, this fuss-free overnight French toast casserole is my favorite way to make the breakfast favorite.

Steps:
- 1. in a mixing bowl add all ingerdients except butter and bread. Mix well!
- 2. In a medium hot skillet melt half the butter, just as it is beginning to brown, dip your bread in your egg mixture and drop into pan. (non stick is best)
- 3. when french toast is golden brown on one side, flip and cook til golden on the other side.
- 4. warmed (in the microwave) powdered sugar and Grand mariner (thin icing) makes a GREAT "syrup" for this. And the hint of orange from the Grand Mariner is PERFECT.

STONEHOUSE BED AND BREAKFAST BAKED FRENCH TOAST
This recipe has been sitting in my "to try" box since 1998. I finally got around to it and my kids LOVED it. One pan was almost not enough for the 4 of us!! My family will not eat nuts, so I left them out, but I can only imagine how good it would be were I able to put them in.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200°F.
- Whisk together buttermilk, eggs, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Pour into a large 4-sided sheet pan, then add bread in 1 layer and soak, turning occasionally, until bread has absorbed all liquid but is not falling apart, about 20 minutes.
- Heat 1 1/2 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides. Transfer 4 bread slices with a slotted spatula to skillet and cook, turning once, until slightly puffed and golden brown, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a large shallow baking pan and keep warm in oven. Cook remaining bread in 2 batches, adding 1 1/2 tablespoon butter between batches.
Tips:
- Use thick-sliced bread for a French toast that's sturdy and can hold up to the custard.
- For a richer flavor, use brioche bread or challah bread.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the French toast. Give each slice plenty of room to cook evenly.
- Cook the French toast over medium heat so that it has time to cook through without burning.
- Flip the French toast only once. Flipping it too often will make it tough.
- Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
This recipe for French toast is a classic for a reason. It's easy to make, delicious, and can be customized to your liking.
