I find myself staying at more homes than hotels whenever I travel, and have a small obsession with AirBNB. Most of the time I find that not only can I save more money on my lodging, but I hate eating out for 3 meals a day. Having a house lets me eat breakfast “at home” and pack a quick lunch to go, allowing me to splurge on a great dinner! This past weekend I rented a house with eight of my closest friends and was tasked with cooking breakfast on Saturday. Sounds good, super easy, I’ll whip up some French toast and have it with a side of bacon. WRONG This would have been easy if it was just me and my husband, but not so much when cooking for 8+ people. The problem was that it took too long to get everyone food as I had 8 starving friends begging for the next piece of French toast. What I should have done is batch cook them. Lesson learned.
OVEN BAKED FRENCH TOAST
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf Jessica’s Brick Oven French Toast Swirl
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F with a rack in the middle of the oven. Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt until fully combined.
Butter baking sheets liberally. Dip bread in the egg mixture until saturated, and transfer to baking sheets. Bake for 12 minutes at 375. Increase oven temperature to broil and cook until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes. Repeat with a second baking sheet.
Serve with butter and powdered sugar or maple syrup and enjoy!
