We came up with this moist French toast bake that’s a snap to assemble at night and bake the next morning. While it’s pleasantly sweet as is, let guests drizzle raspberry syrup over the top for a finishing touch.
Ingreadient :
12 slices cinnamon bread, cubed
5 large eggs, beaten
1-3/4 cups 2% milk
1 cup packed brown sugar, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 cups fresh raspberries
Optional: Confectioners' sugar and maple syrup
Direction :
Place bread cubes in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, 3/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 400°. Sprinkle almonds over egg mixture. Combine melted butter and remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar; drizzle over the top.
Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with raspberries. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 10 minutes longer. If desired, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve with syrup.
