Description
Brown sugar and browned butter is only the beginning to this amazing (and super easy) baked French toast!
Ingredients
- 2 sticks Unsalted Butter
- 3 cups Light Or Dark Brown Sugar
- 5 whole Eggs
- 2 cups Half-and-half
- 2 Tablespoons Real Vanilla Extract
- 2 loaves Challah Bread
- Cinnamon, To Taste
- Freshly Grated Nutmeg, To Taste
- Powdered Sugar For Serving (optional)
Preparation
In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, slowly cook the butter until the milk solids turn a deep amber, about 15 minutes.
Divide brown sugar into two 11×15 baking dishes. Divide and pour in the browned butter. Stir together until the brown sugar absorbs the butter and spread it back out evenly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half and vanilla. Dunk both sides of the sliced challah and arrange in baking dishes. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.
Bake for 25 minutes, rotating pans if necessary.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving, brown sugar-side up. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
