General Conference Bread (Oven Baked French Toast)

INGREDIENTS:
Fresh loaf of french bread
3 eggs
1 c milk
1/2 c butter or margarine
3/4 c brown sugar
cinnamon
raisins or walnuts, pecans (optional)


DIRECTIONS:

Buy a loaf of french bread from the grocery store) cut into two inch slices.

Coat bottom of 9 x 13 pan with brown sugar and butter (3/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter melted and mixed together) then sprinkle with cinnamon. You can also add chopped walnuts, pecans, or raisins to the brown sugar mixture if you want.

Dip french bread slices in egg and milk mixture (3 eggs to 1 cup milk) coat well.

Place egg coated bread into 9 x 13 pan on top of brown sugar and butter and cinnamon (do not flip over, just place one side down and leave it that way).
Let sit in fridge overnight.

The next morning, bake at 350 for 20 minutes and then flip over the bread and bake for another 20 minutes.

You can serve with icing or powdered sugar or syrup but we usually just eat it plain since it's so good it doesn't need anything on it. You can also add walnuts or raisins to the brown sugar mixture if you want.
