Brown Bread French Toast is a delicious twist on a classic breakfast favorite, made with B&M® Brown Bread with Raisins soaked in a sweet, creamy egg mixture flavored with vanilla and cinnamon, then toasted in butter until golden and lightly crisp.
Toast the slices until lightly crisp on the outside.
While bread toasts, in a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla and cinnamon until well blended.
Once bread is ready, place the slices in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread.
Allow the bread to soak in the mixture, turning each slice over once or twice. You want the bread to absorb a lot of liquid but not become too soggy to pick up. Discard any remaining egg mixture.
Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the slices of bread and cook for 2 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 2 minutes on the other side. Remove from the pan.
If working in batches, melt more butter before adding more slices.
Serve warm with fresh fruit, syrup and whipped cream, if desired.
