Ingredients:

• 113 grams (1/2 cup) melted butter (1 stick)
• 200 grams (1 cup) packed light brown sugar
• 1 loaf Texas Toast fresh sliced bread (not frozen)
• 4 large eggs
• 355 ml (1 1/2 cups) whole milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, mixed with 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• Powdered sugar, for sprinkling
• Real maple syrup, if desired

Directions:

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until it becomes smooth and liquid. Add the packed brown sugar to the melted butter and mix until well combined. Pour this irresistible butter-sugar mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan, spreading it evenly to coat the pan.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined. Set this delectable mixture aside.

Place a layer of Texas Toast over the buttery mixture in the baking pan. Pour a cup of the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring it’s fully soaked. Sprinkle a generous layer of the brown sugar-cinnamon mix over the soaked bread. Add a second layer of Texas Toast, followed by another round of eggs and cinnamon mix.

Cover the baking pan tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and let it chill overnight in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in an even more heavenly breakfast experience.

When the morning arrives and your stomach starts rumbling, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the covered pan on the lower middle rack and bake for 40-45 minutes. Keep the pan covered for the first 30 minutes of baking, then remove the cover to let the top layer crisp up slightly.

Once baked to perfection, remove the French Toast Bake from the oven and let it cool for a moment. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top for an elegant touch. If desired, serve with a drizzle of pure maple syrup, elevating your breakfast experience to new heights.

Notes:

• Feel free to customize your French Toast Bake by adding sliced fruits, such as bananas or berries, between the layers for an extra burst of flavor.
• If you prefer a lighter version, you can use low-fat milk or substitute some of the whole milk with almond milk.
• Make sure to use fresh sliced bread instead of frozen Texas toast for the best texture and taste.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or microwave for a delightful breakfast the next day.

In conclusion, our French Toast Bake is a breakfast masterpiece that combines the comforting flavors of caramel, cinnamon, and vanilla in every delightful bite. With its easy overnight preparation and irresistible aroma, it has quickly become a beloved tradition in our household. Whether it’s a lazy Sunday brunch or a special occasion, this recipe is sure to bring joy to your family and loved ones.
