French Toast Sticks

2 eggs
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 slices white bread, each cut into 4 strips
3 tablespoons butter, divided

In a shallow dish, beat together the eggs, sugar, milk, maple syrup, and cinnamon with a fork until well blended. Dip each bread strip into the egg mixture, coating completely.

In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Cook the bread strips a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden, adding more butter as needed.

Serve immediately or allow to cool, then cover and chill until ready to serve.

When ready to serve, reheat in the oven or toaster oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until heated through.

              Caramel French Toast

              Posted by Cookin Dad at recipegoldmine.com May 3, 2001

              Source: Katie - Member posted 04-01-2001 09:04 PM - Recipe by: Bon Appetit Magazine, from Dawn/San Diego, Gails Recipe Swap

              Katie, I now know why your family loves this recipe. My family (including the Chinese wife who normally does not like western breakfasts) loved it too!! I liked the added touch of the extra vanilla and corn syrup (I used the dark type)–yummy!!!

              This time around, I didn make any changes. I was originally going to add some fruit on top like you did, but didn have any around. Thanks for posting one of the best French toast recipes Ive ever had. Regards, Cookin Dad

              Serving size: 6

              1 loaf French bread
              1 stick butter
              1 cup brown sugar
              3 tablespoons Karo Syrup
              6 eggs
              1 1/2 cups milk
              1 tablespoon vanilla extract
              Cinnamon
              Fresh fruit

              Melt butter and brown sugar and Karo syrup over medium heat stirring. Bring to boil and then pour into 9 x13-inch casserole pan. Slice bread into 1 inch widths and lay over caramel mixture. Mix eggs and milk and vanilla and pour over bread. Sprinkle top with cinnamon and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.

              Uncover and bake in 350 degree F oven 45 minutes. Serve with fresh fruit and syrup (optional).

              NOTES: Tried this with a layer of drained sliced, canned nectarines over the caramel…Oh, my. Next time will try Granny Smith apples.

                                                    Blueberry French Toast

                                                    12 slices firm day old bread, cubed
                                                    16 ounces cream cheese, cut into inch squares
                                                    1 cup blueberries
                                                    1 dozen eggs
                                                    2 cups milk
                                                    1/3 cup honey

                                                    Lightly grease 13 x 9-inch pan. Layer in this order: 1/2 bread cubes, all the cream cheese cubes, all the blueberries and remaining bread cubes on top.

                                                    Whisk eggs with milk and honey. Pour over bread, but do not stir. Cover and chill overnight.
