French Toast

I am not a morning person and can’t prepare breakfast well first thing. I decided to trial French Toast in the slow cooker so that it could cook while I was sleeping. It turned out quite well, although you probably only need to cook it for about 6 hours. I left it on longer and it was slightly overdone.You can just place the bread in the slow cooker and pour the mixture over the top while it’s in there. I really wanted to make sure that all of the bread was covered so I battered each piece individually. Choose whichever way you think is the easiest. This recipe will serve 4-6 although it will depend on how hungry your guests are!

Ingredients

½ loaf of bread (white generally works best but you can choose whatever you prefer)

6 eggs

2 cups of milk

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

Break each piece of bread in half. Combine the eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla. Dunk each piece of bread in the mixture and layer them inside your slow cooker. Set your slow cooker to the lowest setting and leave for 6 hours. If you take off the lid 15 minutes before it’s finished, it will turn brown and toast. Mine was already brown because I left it on for longer! You can serve it however you like. It is quite a sweet dish so tangy fruit like strawberries, blueberries and kiwifruit could be a good option to serve with it.
