Baked French Toast

Baked French Toast is a different way of making regular french toast. The process of making a french remains the same in both procedures, but the only difference is the cooking method. I was little skeptical while I was making this dish about how it will turn out & all. But surprisingly it came out very well & was very satisfying too. You can flavor up this dish by adding few blueberries, strawberries while baking & enjoy the goodness of them. For today I'm sharing a very basic baked french toast dish that tastes awesome. Enjoy!!!
Prep Time-15mins 
Cook/Bake Time-30 to 40mins 
Serves-2people
Ingredients 
6Bread slices 
1&1/2Cup milk {2%fat}
2Tbs butter @room temperature
1Large egg
1Tsp vanilla extract
4Tbs sugar 
1/4Cup chopped almonds to garnish
1Tbs melted butter for greasing the pan
Maple syrup to serve {Optional}
Directions 
- Pre-heat oven @400 degrees & grease baking dish with butter.
- In a bowl break open the egg. To that add in milk, butter, vanilla extract & sugar. Whisk them to smooth batter. 
- Now lay 3bread in baking sheet as they fit. Pour half the batter on the bread & lay the rest 3 bread on top. Pour in the remaining batter on top & press the bread a little. Doing that will allow the bread to soak in the batter. Sprinkle chopped almonds on top evenly. 
- Place baking dish in to oven & bake it for 30 to 40mins. You can see the bread puffed up & also edges get crusty.
- Remove from oven. Cool for 10mins on counter top before you serve. 
- Add a dash of maple syrup & serve it .
Note
- You can replace low fat milk with half & half for much richer taste. 
- Double the recipe for a bigger batch of french toast.
