most baked french toast recipes call for putting the ingredients together in the evening and stashing the casserole in the frig overnight and cooking it in the a.m. I did not want to do that. I found this recipe http://everydaysisters.blogspot.com/2011/07/quick-easy-french-toast-casserole.html and modified it.
3/4 loaf of cinnamon raisin bread, torn into small pieces
four eggs
one cup of cream
3/4 to one cup of milk
tsp. vanilla
three tbs. sugar
dash of salt
some cinnamon
pour the liquid over the bread, stir and let set for a little while
Spray bottom of 8 by 13 casserole dish
pour some juice from a jar of Trader Joe cherries into the bottom and scatter a
few cherries in the juice. Put the bread/liquid mixture into the pan and press down
with the back of a spoon so that the bread pieces are submerged or mostly submerged
in the liquid.
Place some cherries randomly around the top and add some of the cherry juice.
Bake at 425 for 35-40 minutes. Let sit for a few minutes before cutting into squares. It did not need maple syrup or anything else on it.
I want to try this with pineapple the next time!
