Tweeting with a side of French Toast

So, as I type this, I am realizing that Twitter has begun to replace my urgency to add to my blog. Not with recipes, of course, but with thoughts and comments about food I’m cooking or eating. It is a fantastic way to have your ‘wordsbefew’ but still convey your message.

I do want to continue to add recipes to my site though. And, although I have not been teaching, I have been cooking and catering. Recently, I stumbled on this recipe and made it for dinner. It was tremendous and so, I share it with you.

: Cinnamon Raisin Apple French Toast

1/3 cup of brown sugar

2 tsp. of cinnamon

1/3 cup of butter, melted

3 apples, peeled and sliced

1 / 2 cup of raisins

1 loaf of bread, diced up into 1” squares

6 eggs, beaten

1 1 / 2 cups of milk

1 tsp. of vanilla extract

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar and the cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter. Add the sliced apples and raisins and stir until they are coated well. Pour the apple mixture into a greased 9”x12” glass baking dish. Spread the diced bread on top of the apples and set aside. Using the same bowl, combine the eggs, milk and vanilla. Pour this over and make sure all the bread pieces are fully soaked with the egg mixture. You may need to press some of the bread down into the egg mixture to assure this. Cover the pan with foil and refrigerate for 8-10 hours. One hour before you want to serve this, bake the foil covered casserole in an oven that has been pre-heated to 375°F for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
