FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE WITH BROWN SUGAR-WALNUT CRUMBLE
This is a glorious dish to make for brunch guests: You soak the bread in eggs overnight, so the next morning all you have to do is top the casserole with streusel and bake. The overnight soak makes the finished French toast almost like a custardy souffle.

Steps:
- For the casserole: Generously butter a 3-quart casserole dish. Arrange the bread slices over the bottom of the dish in three rows of 6 slices, shingling slightly.
- Whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon salt in large bowl until combined and smooth. Whisk in the milk and heavy cream. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, making sure that all slices have been coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 12.
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F.
- For the crumble: Toss the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Add the butter and work it in with your fingers until the mixture is crumbly with pea-sized bits of butter. Mix in the walnuts.
- To assemble: Give the bread slices in the casserole dish a gentle push into the custard. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the top.
- Bake the casserole until the top is puffed and browned and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes (it will still be a little wiggly but will continue to cook a bit out of the oven); check halfway through the baking time and tent with foil if the topping is browning too quickly. Serve hot.
FRENCH TOAST WITH BROWN SUGAR BANANA SYRUP
Steps:
- Nonstick cooking spray
- For Syrup:
- In a small saucepan, combine butter, pumpkin pie spice, molasses, brown sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil, add bananas then lower heat and let simmer for 3 minutes. Remove syrup from heat, cover and keep warm. Serve over French toast.
- Cook's Note: Also makes a great topping for ice cream.
- For French toast:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Slice bread into 12 slices. Reserve 2 slices plus the ends for the bread pudding Round 2 Recipe. Place remaining 8 slices on a baking sheet. Toast in oven for 3 minutes. Remove and lower oven temperature to 250 degrees F.
- In a large bowl whisk together the milk, eggs, flour, vanilla, brown sugar and salt.
- Spray a 12-inch skillet with nonstick cooking spray and place over medium heat. Working in batches of 4, dip the bread into the batter and soak both sides. Remove allowing excess to drip back into the bowl and place in the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the toast to a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack and keep warm in a 250 degree F oven. Repeat with remaining slices of bread. Save remaining batter and extra syrup for bread pudding Round 2 Recipe.
- Serve hot with Brown Sugar Banana Syrup.

Steps:
- Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish.

MAPLE, BROWN SUGAR & CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST
If you love the classic combination of maple and brown sugar as much as I do, then why not enjoy it in French Toast form. Every bite of this delightfully rich French Toast is packed with the perfectly married flavors of brown sugar, cinnamon and maple syrup with a smooth undertone of vanilla and light custard-like texture. My kids gobbled down every last morsel, and I have no shame in admitting that I did too. :)

Steps:
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk eggs. Then whisk in milk. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla; whisk until fully incorporated.
- Bring a large skillet or griddle to medium heat and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Dredge each slice of bread in the custard mixture, being careful not to oversaturate the bread.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
- Serve hot with butter and real maple syrup.
Tips:
- Use stale bread: Stale bread absorbs the egg mixture better, resulting in a crispier, more flavorful French toast.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cooking too many slices of French toast at once will cause them to steam instead of fry, resulting in soggy bread.
- Cook over medium heat: Medium heat allows the French toast to cook evenly without burning.
- Flip the French toast only once: Flipping the French toast too often will break it up.
- Serve immediately: French toast is best served hot and fresh out of the pan.
Conclusion:
French toast with brown sugar is a classic breakfast dish that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this delicious treat in the comfort of your own home. Whether you like your French toast simple or topped with your favorite fruit, syrup, or whipped cream, this recipe is sure to please.
