Title: Baked Cinnamon French Toast
Categories: Breads, Chocolate, Dairy, Fruits
Yield: 8 Servings

1/4 c Butter
1/4 c Packed brown sugar
1 lb Loaf sliced cinnamon-swirl
- bread
1/2 c Raisins and/or chocolate
- chips
3 lg Eggs
1 1/4 c Half & half
1 1/4 c Milk
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
Whipped cream (opt)

THE NIGHT BEFORE: In microwave, melt butter with brown
sugar. Use to coat bottom of 13" X 9" pan. Place 1 layer
of bread in pan, packing in tightly. Scatter raisins or
chocolate chips evenly over bread. (Or sprinkle 1/4 cup
raisins on one side, 1/4 cup chocolate chips on the other,
to accommodate different tastes.) Top with second layer of
bread. Whisk together remaining ingredients and pour
evenly over bread. Cover with foil and refrigerate
overnight.

IN THE MORNING: Preheat oven to 350|+F/175|+C.

Bake, covered, in preheated oven 45 minutes; uncover and
bake another 15 minutes. Dish will puff up and then fall.
Cut into squares, invert onto serving plates and serve, if
desired, with whipped cream.

Makes: 8 servings

NOTES: I used chocolate chips instead of raisins in this
recipe. I'd recommend that you try that too. Having a
layer of melted chocolate turns a regular baked French
toast into something unique and fun. Make sure you use a
bread with lots of cinnamon flavor. As with every French
toast recipe, day old (slightly dry) bread works best. The
only change I'd suggest is that you start by thoroughly
greasing your baking pan with additional butter. I loved
everything about this breakfast except that it stuck to
the sides of the baking dish and was hard to clean. I
found that leftovers heated up the next day were also
very, very good.
