Baked French Toast

 Having houseguests?  This is a delicious make-ahead breakfast idea.  I got the recipe from The Pioneer Woman website.

Baked French Toast

1 loaf French Bread

8 eggs

2 cups whole milk 

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 Tablespoons Vanilla

Fresh Blueberries

Syrup

Topping

1/2 cup flour

!/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 cup cold butter, cut in cubes

Grease a 13 x9 pan.  Tear the bread into chunks and evenly distribute in the pan.

In a large bowl, crack in the eggs.  Add the milk, cream, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla.  Whisk together.  Pour over the bread.  Cover the pan with foil and store in the fridge until ready to bake (overnight or even just an hour or so)

Heat oven to 350

In a separate bowl, use a fork to stir together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.  Add the butter chunks and use your hands to mix together until it forms a ball.  Sprinkle the topping evenly over the bread mixture.  Bake for 45 minutes - 1 hour, depending if you want it soft or crisper.

Serve in scoops with butter and syrup and blueberries atop.
