If you visit Orlando and wish to stay at a nice hotel...about 20 minutes by car, or bus (which is FREE) to go to Disney World.... I highly recommend the Shingle Creek Hotel
Overnight Baked French Toastfrom: The Good Housekeeping Cookbook
12 slices firm white bread
6 large eggs
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
pinch salt
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
4 tablespoon butter or margarine, softened
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Arrange bread slices in four stacks in 8-inch square baking dish.
In a blender, combine eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt and blend until mixture is smooth. Slowly pour egg mixture over bread slices; press bread down to absorb egg mixture, spooning egg mixture over any uncovered bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In small bowl, stir brown sugar, butter, and maple syrup until combined. Spread evenly over each stack of bread. Bake until knife inserted 1 inch from center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
To serve, cut each stack diagonally in half. Makes 8 servings.

ReplyDeleteI have never had baked French toast but it looks really delicious especially with the seasonal berries on top. I would love to have it now for my afternoon tea...
ReplyDeleteDe jól néz ki, már annyiszor akartam ilyet készíteni, de valahogy mindig elmaradt:) Lehet azért, mert nem szoktam reggelizni, de nekem ez bármilyen napszakban tökéletes lenne, sőt desszertként is jöhet:). Ha egyszer eljutok Floridába,. mindenképpen abban a szállodában fogok megszállni. Szép hetet kívánok neked:)

ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteFeeling the chill at Melbourne, I wish that I can be at Orlando now. Thanks for your recommendation. I will know where to stay if I'm visiting Orlando.
Soaking the bread overnight... Your French toasts must be extra tasty being fully absorbed with lots of yummy flavors.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe Elisabeth and hope you are having a lovely week :D
Kedves Elisabeth, olyan csodálatos fotókat készítettél, hogy kedvem lenne rögtön felfalni az egészet. Már jó ideje készülök én is készíteni, na most már nem halogatom tovább. Igaz itt nálunk most éppen trópusi meleg van, de majd korán reggel üzemelem be a sütőt. Puszillak
