Overnight French Toast

Ingredients:

French Toast:

1/2 stick butter, room temperature

12 3/4-inch-thick French bread slices

6 eggs

1 1/2 cup Milk

1/4 cup Sugar

2 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp Vanilla

1/2 tsp Salt

Powdered sugar

Maple Syrup:

2 cups Maple syrup

1 cup Chopped walnuts, toasted

Directions:

French Toast:

Spread the butter over the bottom of large baking pan. Place the bread in the pan in a single layer. Beat the eggs, milk, sugar, syrup, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Pour the mixture over the bread and turn each slice to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning or evening if you like breakfast for dinner, Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the french bread mixture for 10 minutes. Turn the bread over and continue baking until just golden, about 4 minutes longer. Now you can place a slice or two on a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar or you can eat it directly out of the dish. This is called the Shanda method. Either way make sure you serve it immediately with the Maple-Walnut Syrup and if you're my friend Di you will literally lick your plate clean.

¡Buen apetito!
