Thursday’s Culinary Adventure

 

 

This adventure was, technically, supposed to be for last week from when my sister and her husband and kids were in town.

But, due to…well..procrastination?  It is just going up today.

Tonight, on Thursday’s Culinary Adventure:

with a reappearance from my niece, Brenna!

Doesn’t this just scream “Eat me for breakfast tomorrow morning!”

Well, it did for me.

Here we go

-

You will need:

5 c. day old french bread, cut into cubes

4 eggs

1 1/2 c. milk

1/4 c. sugar, divided

1/4 tsp. salt

1 tsp. vanilla

1 T margarine, softened

1 tsp. cinnamon

-

Spray the bottom of an 8x8 pan, and fill it up with the bread cubes.

In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, milk, 2 Tb. of the sugar, the salt, and the vanilla.                 

Pour on top of the bread, and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Mix the remainder of the sugar, and the 1 tsp. cinnamon together. 

Sprinkle on top of the bread casserole, and dot the top with the 1 Tb. of margarine.

 

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until the bread looks all toasty brown.

 

Serve it on up!  (Fresh fruit optional, but highly recommended.)

Taste Testers Say:

Brian:  

My Sister Carrie: 

(She said not to post this because she didn’t have make-up on.  I was hoping that if I put it into soft focus..?)

My Brother-in-law Brian:

(He was being “mysterious.”  I have no words.)

Brenna: 

Grace: 

Aidan: 

And yes, I forgot to take a picture of me.  Sigh.  I am a servant.

Summary: 

It was a hit!  Delicious and just different enough from regular french toast to mix it up a little.  I will definitely make this again!  This weekend, perhaps?
