Fabulous French Toast and Moist Apple Bread Recipes

Here is the recipe for Caramelized French Toast-- I probably get more requests for this recipe than almost anything else (except Tarragon Eggs, which I've also posted). This is a very EASY recipe and good if you have to serve a crowd and only have the basics at hand.

Serves 6
Bake at 400 for about 20-25 minutes

Use 9 X 13 pyrex pan

Mix together:
6 eggs
1 cup half and half (No, DON'T substitute 1/2 percent milk because it won't taste as good!)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla

Use old french bread, cut if necessary or used sliced. I never take the crusts off, I like the crunchy bits you get with a crust.

In pyrex layer the following:

1/4 cup melted UNsalted butter
1 cup loosely packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white corn syrup (dark will work also, you'll just get a heavier taste)
1/4 cup chopped nuts

Dip your bread in the egg mixture and layer evenly across pyrex.

Pour any additional egg mixture over layered bread and bake until the mix is golden and bubbly.

Serve with heavy whipped cream and some sliced fruit on top for the best result. Mmmmmmm!
