Youâll be proud to serve this tasty brunch bake from Elisa Lochridge, Beaverton, Oregon. The cherry topping and dollop of yogurt make each bite a special treat. Ingredients:
8 slices french bread (1 inch thick) |
6 eggs, lightly beaten |
1-1/2 cups 2% milk |
1/3 cup maple syrup |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 tablespoon grated orange peel |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
cherry topping: |
4 cups fresh or frozen pitted sweet cherries |
1/2 cup orange juice |
1 tablespoon sugar |
4 teaspoons cornstarch |
4 teaspoons cold water |
vanilla yogurt |
Directions:
1. Place the bread in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, syrup, sugar, orange peel and salt. Pour over bread; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight. In another large bowl, combine the cherries, orange juice and sugar. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. Transfer bread slices to another greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Discard any remaining egg mixture. Bake at 400° for 7-9 minutes or until golden brown.
