Crock-Pot French Toast

By DreiFromBK

I got a crock pot for Christmas last year after having to borrow my mom’s for last years Thanksgiving dinner extravaganza. Sad to say I packed up and stored it away after greatly over estimating the time it would take to cook chicken tikka marsala while I as at work. Burning curry is nothing you want to arrive home to. My aunt gave me this recipe after raving here and there about bring her crock pot full of fluffly ready to serve french toast at work. She brings it in a couple times a year a round holiday season and serves it to her office. Its soooo easy to make and its wonderful to wake up on a weekend morning to the smell of ready to dive into French toast– set your coffee maker the night before and you won’t have to lift a finger before breakfast.

Ingredients

• Combine:
• 1/2 loaf of bread.
• Break up bread in half pieces.
• 6 eggs, 2 c milk, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tbsp light brown sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla.

Preparation

Step 1

Pour over bread if you’ve already placed in the crock pot. I was worried I find out the next day that not all the bread had gotten saturated so I dunked my pieces individually and layered them. I’d recommend this if you are using a hardier or more stale bread. Set crockpot to lowest setting. Cooking takes at least 6 hours.
In the morning you will find a fluffly, bread pudding-souffle like breakfast. Remove the lid about 15 minutes before its done and it will brown and toast. Serve with warm syrup!! Serves 4-6 depending on how hungry your guests are.
