Baked French Toast

12/23/2019

This baked French toast sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar has a nice combination of a crisp surface with a soft center. Can be served with a variety of toppings. The next time I make this, I'd like to serve it with crushed strawberries and whipped cream.

Serving: 6 Preparation: 30 minutes Baking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients
2 cups eggs
1¼ cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon salt
6 slices French bread
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar mixed with ½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions
1. Beat together eggs, milk, vanilla, and salt.
2. Put bread in shallow dish, add egg mixture, and let stand 10 minutes, turning once with spatula.
3. Melt butter in 13 × 9 × 2-inch baking pan in 400° F oven 5 minutes.
4. When the bread has absorbed egg mixture, remove to baking pan, using spatula. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until well browned and puffy.
5. Serve with toppings.

Cinnamon Ornaments

I make these cinnamon scented ornaments almost every year. They make great gifts to give a little before-Christmas, enhancing the fragrance of the season.
They can be strung together as a garland. If you have many cookie cutters as I do, it's fun to choose a theme. Or use as package gift tags, writing on the person's name with frosting.
Note: These take a while to dry, so plan ahead!

Ingredients
1 cup Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Cloves, ground
1 Tablespoon Nutmeg
3/4 cup Applesauce canned
2 Tablespoons White glue
1/4 cup Cocoa powder

Directions
1. In medium bowl, combine cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Add applesauce and glue, stir to combine.
2. Work mixture with hands for several minutes or until dough is smooth and ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
3. Divide into 4 portions.
4. Sprinkle surface with cocoa powder. Roll each portion to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut dough with "floured" cookie cutters.
5. Use a straw to make a small hole in the top of each ornament.
6. Place cutouts on wire racks and cover with paper towels so that they will dry slowly and not warp. Allow to dry at room temperature for several days.
7. Carefully string on ribbons.

I hope you enjoyed these. Let me know if you've they turned out.
