Overnight French Toast

Meet the Cook: Youngsters who won't eat eggs cooked the traditional ways "go crazy" for this breakfast dish. I should know - I have four children, ages 13 and 17. -Catherine Buehre, Weeping Water, Nebraska

6-8 ServingsPrep: 10 min. + chilling Bake: 45 min.

Ingredients

1 loaf (1 pound) unsliced cinnamon-raisin bread
5 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 cup half-and-half cream
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon maple flavoring
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
Fresh strawberries or maple syrup, optional

Directions

Slice ends from bread and discard or save for another use. Slice
remaining loaf into eight 1-in. slices and arrange in the bottom of
two greased 8-in. square baking pans.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, yolks, cream, brown sugar, pie spice
and flavorings. Gradually add milk, beating until well blended; pour
over bread. Cover and chill overnight.
Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.
Drizzle with butter. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45-60 minutes
or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve
warm; top with strawberries or syrup if desired. Yield: 6-8
servings.
