Colleen's Over Night French Toast from Kneaders

source

Those of you in Utah or Arizona have most likely heard of Kneaders Cafe and Bakery.  That place is divoom.  If you aren't around those parts and don't have access to a Kneaders, any type of chunky cinnamon bread will be great in this recipe.  Skip down to the bottom for a simplified version of the instructions if you don't have time to make this the night before.  Great for Sunday morning breakfast or fancy brunches!  Serves 6-8.

{What you need}

1 loaf Kneaders Chunky Cinnamon Bread, sliced in 8 pieces

8 eggs

1 T brown sugar

1 T vanilla

3 c. milk

3/4 t salt

2 T butter

Butter a glass baking dish generously (9" x 13").  Place the bread in the baking dish.  Set butter aside.  Mix all remaining ingredients and pour over the bread.  Cut butter into small pieces and dot over the top. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least four hours.  Uncover and bake 45-50 minutes at 350.  Serve with whipped cream and strawberries.

*For good ol' fashioned french toast style, combine all ingredients (except the bread) in a glass dish and whisk together.  Saturate each slice of bread in the egg batter and fry on a greased skillet over medium heat.
