Streusel Topped Baked French Toast: Breakfast Is Served

Streusel Topped Baked French Toast: Breakfast Is Served

Hi everybody :)

Welcome to another Breakfast Is Served Sunday, if you're just tuning in to my blog every Sunday I post a Breakfast Is Served. Last week Breakfast Is Served Sunday's post is found here.

Today you're in for a treat, I'm making French toast with the bread for yesterday post found  here. Not just any French toast but French toast made in the oven with a streusel topping and sprinkled with powdered sugar. OH YEAH! 

Let's get it started...

Oven-Baked French Bread adapted The Woman's Day Cookbook: Great Recipes, Bright Ideas, And Healthy Choices for Today's Cook

Ingredients:

6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups skim milk
1 1/2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I also added 1/4 tsp. apple pie spice & 1/4 tsp. pumpkin spice)
12 1/2-inch-thick slices firm white bread (I used Multigrain Breads: Raisin-Swirled & Honey Wheat)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Directions:
1. Adjust the oven racks so that one is in the lowest position and the other it in the middle. Heat the oven to 425°F Lightly butter 2 jelly roll pans

2. In a medium-size bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a fork. Stir in the milk, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until blended.

3. Soak the bread. 1 slice at a time, in the egg mixture for about 5 minutes, or until absorbed. 

Place 6 soaked slices in each prepared pan. Cut the butter into pieces and scatter over the bread.

4. Place 1 pan on each oven rack. Bake for 8 minutes. Turn each piece and switch the positions of the pans. Bake for 7 minutes more, or until the top is golden brown.

5. Remove the French toast to a serving platter. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve right away.

What I Did and or Think:
I followed the recipe up to step #3. After soaking the bread, I dipped it in the streusel topping, recipe below. Then, I continue with the recipe as stated. Some I sprinkled with powdered sugar the others I left plain. I put some in the streusel topping, some I didn't. I like variety in my food :)

For the Streusel Topping
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter

Mix together dry ingredients cut in butter with pastry blender or fork.

The Taste: I LOVE the taste of the toasts. I even liked the little piece below with the raisin bread, my son said it was GREAT! The recipe will be going in my REPEAT files!

ENJOY! Come again...
