This baked french toast is sinfully good. I like to serve this dish with fresh fruit so it momentarily tricks me into thinking I am eating something healthy. This is definitely worth splurging on. For this recipe you will need
Topping:
Tear bread into pieces or cut into cubes, 1-inch each. Arrange pieces in a generously buttered 9 by 13-inch flat baking dish. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half-and-half, milk, sugar, vanilla and Pie Spices then whisk until blended but not too bubbly. Pour mixture over the bread, making sure all pieces are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients for the topping in a bowl. Spread topping evenly over the bread and bake for 40 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden. Drizzle with maple syrup. Best, Victoria
