Today’s featured recipe is Baked French Toast. While I listed this recipe under main dishes, I gotta admit it may be more appropriate under desserts. But I’m going to continue to think of it is a main dish so I can have it for dinner once in a while.
A few quick notes on this recipe. This last time I used Brioche bread and it was PERFECT for this recipe. Also, pecans are by far my favorite nut to use in this. Not much else to say except it’s mighty delicious. Oh – and sorry there’s no picture of the final product… I forgot to take one, but the ingredients sure are pretty!
BAKED FRENCH TOAST
1/2 C brown sugar
1/3 C butter
2 T corn syrup
Chopped pecans, almonds, whatever
2 t. orange zest
1/2 C OJ
1/2 C milk
3 T sugar
1 t cinnamon
1 t vanilla

2 eggs (or 4 eggs)Mix brown sugar, butter and corn syrup. Spread with nuts on cookie sheet and lay slices of bread on top. Mix rest of the ingredients and pour on top of bread. Sit for 1 hour in fridge. Bake 350 for 35 mins.
Hello! My name is Jane Maynard and you've landed yourself on my blog, This Week for Dinner™. Every Sunday I share a weekly menu...and then count on you to share your own! You'll also find other deliciousness that I hope you'll enjoy!
So I tried this recipe yesterday and it was awesome! I mean I can’t stop raving about it or craving it. Super easy and delicious. It made a lot. Initially I was scared about how it would reheat for the next day. But, what started out as breakfast turned into lunch, and dinner desert. Thank you!
