I’ve seen posts about Baked French Toast and always wondered how it tastes, so today was that day that I would give it a go. I normally fry my eggy bread so I was intrigued. It tasted amazing with the Maple Syrup and a great Sunday Brunch recipe.

Serves 4-6

6 slices of thick white bread (it has to be white, I’ve tried wholemeal in the past and it just doesn’t work)

5 eggs

1 cup Milk

1 tsp vanilla essence

2 tbsp sugar (brown or white, your choice)

1 tsp cinnamon

2 tbsp butter – melted

Maple Syrup to serve

1. Preheat oven to 180 deg
2. Cut bread into long slices. Mix sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
3. Whisk together eggs, milk and vanilla
4. Soak the bread in the egg mixture and let excess drip off
5. Place some greaseproof or parchment paper on a baking tray and lay the bread strips on top, leaving a small space in between                                      
6. Using the melted butter, brush the tops of the slices then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon
7. Bake in oven for 15 minutes
8. Remove and turn over the slices, repeat with the butter and sugar and bake for a further 15 mins.                                                                                 
9. Allow to cool slightly, plate up and drizzle with Maple Syrup…..Yummy!!
