Cinnamon-Raspberry French Toast
Delicious option for your Easter brunch!
- 12 slices cinnamon bread cubed (I used Pepperidge Farms)
- 5 eggs beaten
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 3/4 cup brown sugar divided
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- optional: vanilla yogurt and raspberry sauce
1. Place bread crumbs in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. In a bowl, combine eggs, milk, 1/2 cup brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
2. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Sprinkle almonds over egg mixture. Combine butter and remaining brown sugar; drizzle over the top.
3. Bake uncovered, for 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with raspberries. Bake 10 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Note: If you are unable to find cinnamon bread, just add an extra 1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to the recipe.
