This delightful dish, made with day-old raisin bread, is full of cinnamon flavor. âI like to serve it for brunch with sliced bacon and a fruit compote,â writes Barbara Tritch of Hope, Idaho. Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, softened |
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon |
8 slices day-old raisin bread |
4 tablespoons brown sugar, divided |
6 eggs, lightly beaten |
1-1/2 cups 2% milk |
3 tablespoons maple syrup |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
additional maple syrup |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine butter and cinnamon; spread over one side of each slice of bread. Place four slices, buttered side up, in a greased 8-in. square baking dish (trim to fit if necessary). Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Repeat with remaining bread and brown sugar.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, syrup and vanilla; pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
3. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve with additional syrup. Yield: 4 servings.
