Baked French Toast




I am not usually a breakfast girl, but I do love french toast. My husband is the breakfast guru, but food network magazine featured different ways to prepare french toast and it looked so good I had to try it out! Of course I had to switch it up a bit...


Ingredients:
1 loaf Italian bread
4 tbs. brown sugar
3 eggs
3 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup - 1 cup pure maple syrup
powdered sugar
5 tbs. butter


Directions:


Pre-Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Slice Italian bread in 1 inch think slices. Beat eggs, vanilla , and cinnamon in a bowl. Soak bread slices in egg mixture. Heat frying pan (medium-high heat) add 1 Tb. of butter to pan. Fry each slice for 1-2 min on each side. You just want to brown each side, you don't want to cook the egg all the way. Place in a baking pan. In frying pan, add brown sugar, butter and pure maple syrup. Mix until has bubbled and thickened. Pour sauce over french toast. Bake for 20 min. Let sit for 5 min before eating. Dust each plate with powdered sugar.  ENJOY :)
