Good Morning Food

Everyone has a favorite breakfast treat; maybe its muffins, or pancakes, or french toast, or even cold cereal. Here's a recipe I found that our family like that is something between french toast and muffins. Its easy to make and the extras (if there are any) freeze well for a quick breakfast later.

Individual French Toast Stratas

6 eggs

1 ½  cup half-and-half (or evaporated milk)

6 tbsp. maple syrup

1 ½ tsp vanilla

1 tsp cinnamon

large pinch salt

4 cups cubed (1-inch) white country bread

2 tbsp. melted butter

2 tbsp. sugar

Whisk eggs, milk/half&half, syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Toss bread with butter; divide among 12 muffin cups. Pour egg mixture over bread; let sit while you preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle bread mixture with sugar. Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool on rack. Serve with more maple syrup and fresh berries.
