I was married last spring, and my husband and I spent our honeymoon in Del Mar, California, at L’Auberge Del Mar Resort and Spa, writes Leah Morgan of Shoreline, Washington. While we were there, we enjoyed the cinnamon-raisin French toast. I would love to surprise my husband by re-creating this special breakfast at home. You’ll need to buy unsliced bread from a bakery to make this super-thick French toast. Ingredients:
7 large eggs |
2 1/2 cups half and half |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
6 1 1/2-inch-thick slices cinnamon-raisin bread or french bread |
4 tablespoons (about) unsalted butter |
maple syrup (optional) |
Directions:
1. Whisk first 6 ingredients in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Add bread to egg mixture and let soak 20 minutes, pressing down occasionally.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add bread to skillet. Cook until golden brown, turning once and adding more butter as needed, about 3 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake until bread puffs up and is firm in middle, about 30 minutes. Serve warm with maple syrup, if desired.
