Units
Scale
- 1 loaf brioche bread
- 5 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups full milk
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- Handful of chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup frozen cranberries
- Icing sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Butter a baking dish approx. 9 x 11 inches, set aside.
- Cut bread in thick slices approx. 1 inch thick. Then cut each slice in half. Arrange slices of bread in your buttered dish, overlapping as you please.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Pour mixture over the bread, making sure to soak every slice from top to bottom.
- Sprinkle pecans and cranberries throughout the dish, placing some in-between the slices of bread too.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning pull out French toast (give the dish a little swirl to re-coat any extra egg mixture that didn’t absorb into the bread). Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
- Bake for approx. 30 minutes or until the top is crisp and the middle has set.
- Place on a cooling rack for 5 minutes to cool. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm.
