Over Night French Toast

Here's a fabulous breakfast dish you can make, if you so desire, for your love, friends, or family on Valentine's day. Our friends the Donohoes made it for us when we visited them one time in KC-and we fell in love with it. It's so scrumptious!

Over Night French Toast

Ingredients:

1 loaf (8 oz.) French baguette, cut into 1 in. slices

4 eggs

2 c. milk

½ c. firmly packed brown sugar

1 t. vanilla

1 t. ground cinnamon

2 c. fresh or frozen fruit

¼ c. butter

¼ c. firmly packed brown sugar

Directions:

1. Arrange bread into greased 9x13 pan. In large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and 1/2c. brown sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour mixture evenly over bread; turn slices as needed to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate over night. (We sometimes put the slices into 2 dishes and freeze one for later.)

2. Just before baking, sprinkle berries over bread (make sure they are defrosted if using frozen). Heat butter with the ¼ c. brown sugar over medium heat until bubbly. Drizzle over berries.

3. Bake at 375° for 25-30 min. until set & crisp. If desired, dust with powdered sugar.

Enjoy!!!
