Eat This!

If you eat, you'll probably LOVE this. My Hero and I agree this is better than cinnamon rolls (we are fiends for cinnamon rolls!) and a one heckuva lot easier to make. Thanks to my good friend E.A. who shared this recipe with me so I could share it with you.

Merry Christmas!

Baked French Toast
Whisk together in a large bowl
10 eggs
2 3/4 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Spray 9x13 pan with Pam)
Tear one loaf white bread into small (they don't have to be too small) pieces. Place in pan.
Pour egg mixture over top and press down with fork or whisk to help bread absorb all moisture
Optional-Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight
Bake at 350 for 40 minutes

Serve with Buttermilk Syrup, fresh fruit, whip cream...
Serves about 10

Buttermilk Syrup
Melt together
1/2 cup butter (equal to 1 stick of butter)
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup *buttermilk

Heat until bubbles form, then add
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

*If you are caught without any buttermilk you can make it easily by using 1 cup of skim milk and a tablespoon of any acid. Using white vinegar or lemon juice will work and these add more tartness. Using a tablespoon of cream of tartar will work as well and this will not be quite as acidic.
