Overnight Cinnamon-Vanilla French Toast


I love Saturday morning breakfast and this recipe is easy peasy. I probably could have ate more, but thankfully I contained myself and held off.  I gotta keep this weight gain under control.

Overnight Cinnamon-Vanilla French Toast (recipe adapted here):

Ingredients:

For soak:
1/2 loaf Italian bread, cut into 4 (1-inch thick) slices
3 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon, ground.  (I used a tsp of cinnamon. I love it.)

For cooking:
Nonstick cooking spray or butter

For garnish, optional:
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Assorted cut-up fresh fruit (strawberries, bananas, kiwi, etc.)

Directions:

Place bread slices in a medium dish. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour over bread to soak, coating well. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

When ready to cook, set a wide nonstick pan to medium-high heat. Coat with cooking spray or butter. Once mostly hot, add bread slices. Cook 3-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Place on serving dishes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Garnish with cut-up fruit and whipped cream, if desired.
