      Title: Baked Cinnamon French Toast
 Categories: Breads, Chocolate, Dairy, Fruits
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
    1/4 c  Butter
    1/4 c  Packed brown sugar
      1 lb Loaf sliced cinnamon-swirl
           - bread
    1/2 c  Raisins and/or chocolate
           - chips
      3 lg Eggs
  1 1/4 c  Half & half
  1 1/4 c  Milk
    1/2 ts Vanilla extract
           Whipped cream (opt)
 
  THE NIGHT BEFORE: In microwave, melt butter with brown
  sugar. Use to coat bottom of 13" X 9" pan. Place 1 layer
  of bread in pan, packing in tightly. Scatter raisins or
  chocolate chips evenly over bread. (Or sprinkle 1/4 cup
  raisins on one side, 1/4 cup chocolate chips on the other,
  to accommodate different tastes.) Top with second layer of
  bread. Whisk together remaining ingredients and pour
  evenly over bread. Cover with foil and refrigerate
  overnight.
  
  IN THE MORNING: Preheat oven to 350øF/175øC.
  
  Bake, covered, in preheated oven 45 minutes; uncover and
  bake another 15 minutes. Dish will puff up and then fall.
  Cut into squares, invert onto serving plates and serve, if
  desired, with whipped cream.
  
  Makes: 8 servings
  
  NOTES: I used chocolate chips instead of raisins in this
  recipe. I'd recommend that you try that too. Having a
  layer of melted chocolate turns a regular baked French
  toast into something unique and fun. Make sure you use a
  bread with lots of cinnamon flavor. As with every French
  toast recipe, day old (slightly dry) bread works best. The
  only change I'd suggest is that you start by thoroughly
  greasing your baking pan with additional butter. I loved
  everything about this breakfast except that it stuck to
  the sides of the baking dish and was hard to clean. I
  found that leftovers heated up the next day were also
  very, very good.
