Well…O.M.G! This little dish is soooooooooo tasty, sooooooooooo moreish, soooooooooo naughty, but it is so good!  I’ve been wanting to try this for a while now, so this weekend was that weekend. Happy Sunday morning breakfast. Inspired from Lil luna

Makes enough for about 4 large portions or 6 smaller portions

70g butter melted

140g light brown sugar, 30g from sprinkling

Bread with crusts cut off (I used plain bread)

5 eggs – medium

300ml milk

1 tsp vanilla essence

cinnamon as per your taste

2 tbsp butter (not melted)

Icing sugar for decoration (optional)

Maple Syrup

1. Add the melted butter and brown sugar together and mix thoroughly
2. Take a casserole dish approx 8 x 12″ and spread the sugar mix over the base             
3. Add a layer of your bread slices                                                 
4. Whisk eggs, vanilla and milk together in a bowl, pour 1/2 the mixture over the bread.
5. Sprinkle about 15g of the sugar and some cinnamon over                               
6. Add another layer of bread slices and butter the slices.
7. Pour the remaining egg mixture over and sprinkle with leftover sugar and cinnamon.
8. Refrigerate overnight
9. In the morning remove from fridge and bake in a preheated oven at 180 deg for approx 45 minutes.
10. I popped under grill for a minute to gently crisp up and brown a bit more (optional)
11. Drizzle a little icing sugar and Maple Syrup all over and devour!
