Ingredients:
- 2 c milk
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 8 oz italian or french bread (usually 1/2 loaf)
- 1 stick butter or margarine
- 1 c brown sugar, packed
- some pecans or raisins, optional
Directions:
- The night before, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon. (I just put everything in my 8 cup glass measuring cup, but a large bowl will do.) Cube or tear bread into pieces and add to the egg mixture.
- Push the bread down with the whisk until all the bread pieces are coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning, spray a 13 x 9” baking dish with cooking spray. Put the stick of butter in the dish and spoon around the brown sugar.
- Put the baking dish in the cold oven and preheat the oven to 350° F. After about 8 minutes, remove the dish from the oven and stir the butter and brown sugar together.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the bread and egg mixture bowl & stir well.
- Spoon the mixture over the brown sugar & butter “syrup.” Add pecans or raisins, if desired.
- Bake at 350° F for 35-40 minutes, or until browned and a knife slipped into the middle comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow to “set” for about 5 minutes to soak up the “syrup.”
- Happy Brunch!
