Baked French Toast

Here is another incredible recipe I found at food.com (formerly recipezaar.com). Original recipe found here. I've been wanting to try a baked french toast for so long! Jason bought these little baguette slices and we had a ton left over, so I decided to use them. It was delicious. Everyone loved it.

Ingredients:

• 6 slices bread (any kind you like)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Spray 13x9" baking pan (or line with parchment paper).
2. Arrange bread slices to fit in a single layer and sprinkle with cinnamon.
3. Beat eggs with milk, syrup, melted butter and vanilla until just blended.
4. Pour evenly over bread.
5. Bake immediately or cover and refrigerate up to overnight.
6. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until firm to the touch.
7. Serve with fruit and additional syrup if desired.
