OVERNIGHT FRENCH TOAST

This recipe is so easy and delicious, (if you like sweets for breakfast). It tastes like a giant cinnamon roll!

2 cups brown sugar

1 cup (2 sticks) oleo

2 tsp. cinnamon

18 slices Italian or French bread

3 cups milk

6 eggs, beaten

1/3 cup white sugar

2 tsp. vanilla


Melt the brown sugar, oleo, and cinnamon in pan.

Lay some of the bread slices in bottom of a well greased 9x13 pan.

Drizzle part of the butter mixture over the bread, add more bread, repeating to make 3 layers, ending with the drizzle mixture.

Mix the remaining ingredients, and pour over the bread.

Cover with foil, and refrigerate over night.

Bake at 350* for 1 hour covered, then for 15 minutes uncovered.

I found I had to bake a little longer (maybe 15 min. more), but remember, it’s supposed to be moist and not dry looking.  It’s so sweet, you don’t even need to use butter or syrup. And it tastes delicious re-heated or cold, too, if there’s any left for later!!! It smells so good baking, you’ll want to get up early in the morning just to taste it!  Makes about 6 to 8 filling servings.
