French Toast Loaf Bake

It’s been a month since my last post, but now that I’m out of my junior year and settled in at my internship in HAWAII, I can start uploading more delicious recipes! Today’s recipe I saw in a Buzzfeed video and just had to try my own version for Mother’s Day. It’s a beautiful French Toast Loaf Bake, where you hollow out a loaf and turn it into a stacked French toast bake.

Ingredients:

·      Half a loaf of bread

·      2 eggs

·      1 cup milk

·      2 tbsp butter, melted

·      1 tbsp sugar

·      4 tbsp sugar

·      2 tsp cinnamon

·      Strawberries

·      Blueberries

·      Maple syrup

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Hollow out the loaf of bread (keeping the bottom in tact) by cutting out the inside into cubes. Whisk together the eggs, milk, butter, and 1tbsp sugar in one bowl, and combine the 4tbsp sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Dip each side of the cut-up cubes into the egg-and-milk mixture, then cover lightly with some of the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and place on a greased baking tray. Paint the inside of the hollowed-out loaf with the milk mixture, dust with the cinnamon mixture, and place it on the same tray as the cubes. Bake for 15 minutes. Place a few cubes back in the hollowed loaf, add some strawberries, blueberries, and syrup, and repeat until the loaf is full. Top with whipped cream and more fruit, and you’re done!
