Baked French Toast ~ Lightened Up

One of my favorite recipes is Paula Deen's Baked French Toast.  It's sweet, it's decadent, it has 2 sticks of butter.  Since I'm tryna get my body back, that's a no go.  So this is the lightened up version.  Baked French Toast is great breakfast cuz you usually have all the ingredients you need in your house.

Ingredients:
Brioche bread
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 T. brown sugar
Cinnamon
1/4 c. <<Secret Ingredient>>

1. Dice up your bread in 1-inch pieces and place in your baking dish.


 2. Mix your brown sugar and cinnamon with your bread pieces.
3. Mix together your eggs and milk....and this is where you add the secret ingredient...Disaronno*



4.Push the bread pieces down with a fork until they are covered with your milk mixture.
5. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.


*Disaronno is an almond liqueur.  You can achieve the same flavor profile using almond extract but using liqueur is funner.

    1. You can try french bread, although it might need to soak in your egg mixture a lil more. And you can use almond extract instead of the Disaronno...should still be delish.
