Ingredients
- 1/2 C Butter
- 12 slices White Bread
- 1 C Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon or Baking Spice
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 5 eggs
- 1 1/2 c Milk
Directions
-
Melt margarine & pour in a 9X13 pan (I melt it in a measuring cup in the microwave)
-
Mix together brown sugar & cinnamon (or baking spice)
-
Wisk eggs, milk & vanilla together
-
Layer bottom of pan with half the bread
-
Sprinkle half brown sugar mix over the bread
-
Layer second half of bread
-
Pour egg mixture over all then sprinkle remaining brown sugar
-
Cover & refrigerate overnight
-
In the morning, cover with tinfoil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes
-
Uncover and bake 15 more minutes (should be browned and set
-
Variations:
-
Reduce brown sugar to 2/3 C
-
Use any milk substitute-powdered milk, evaporated skim milk, thinned plain yogurt
-
Use any type of bread. I’ve made this with slightly stale hamburger & hotdog rolls.
-
Cube bread and toss everything together then pour into pan. Not as pretty, but it works.
-
Sprinkle top or layers with nuts (this of course ups the cost)
-
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top.
