Overnight French Toast

 

If you love French toast but don't want to be chained

to the stove on Christmas morning, this is the recipe

for you. You make the French toast the night before,

it soaks in the custard overnight, and then you just

pop it in the oven Christmas morning. Have the kids

whisk together the custard.

 

Preparation time: 8 minutes

 

Cooking time: 50 minutes

 

Yield: 10 servings

 

Ingredients and directions:

 

1-pound loaf challah or egg bread, sliced into 1-inch

thick slices

 

One 10-ounce jar (about 1 cup) apricot all-fruit jam

 

3 cups half-and-half

 

1/3 cup sugar

 

4 large eggs

 

4 large egg yolks

 

1 teaspoon cardamom

 

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

 

Spray a 15 x 10 x 2-inch pan with pan coating. Spread

the jam evenly over the bread slices and arrange them

in the pan, jam side up, with each piece overlapping

half of the one below.

Whisk together the half-and-half and sugar to begin to

dissolve the sugar. Whisk the eggs and egg yolks,

cardamom, and cinnamon into the half-and-half and

sugar combination. You've just created a custard. Pour

the custard evenly over the bread. Cover with plastic

wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Unwrap and bake the

French toast for about 50 minutes or until it's puffed

and golden. Serve with maple syrup.
