Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8-12 slices of bread (depending on size of bread)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Imperial Sugar Light Brown Sugar or Imperial Sugar Dark Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Optional Toppings
- Maple Syrup
- Fresh Berries
- Imperial Sugar Confectioners Powdered Sugar
- Creme Chantilly
- Brown Sugar Syrup
Directions
- Add melted butter to a 9 x 13-inch dish and spread evenly over bottom. Layer in bread. It’s ok if they overlap, but try not to cover each slice too much.
- In a medium-size mixing bowl whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Pour mixture over bread making sure it’s evenly saturated. Cover with foil and add to the fridge to let rest overnight.
- Shortly before baking, preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a small bowl mix together granulated sugar and cinnamon. Uncover French toast and top with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until French toast is lightly toasted and fully cooked. Serve immediately with powdered sugar, fresh berries, maple syrup, etc.
Imperial Sugar Insight
This recipe was made using sliced butter bread, but a thicker bread will work great as well. It will come down to desired texture. The thinner bread is softer and thicker bread will hold its shape a little better.
