HEALTHY OVERNIGHT FRENCH TOAST BAKE

Steps:

• For the French toast: Coat a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange the bread slices on the diagonal in 3 rows in the dish, slightly overlapping the slices. Whisk together the evaporated milk, milk, vanilla and almond extracts, cinnamon, salt and eggs until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the bread slices, taking care to evenly coat the bread. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the foil from the baking dish and spoon any remaining egg mixture over the top of the bread pieces to assure they are evenly moistened.

BONNIE'S BAKED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• 1. Spray a bread pan with kitchen spray and preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• 2. Butter the tops of all four slices of bread with two slices of bread to a stack. Place bread stacks in the prepared pan, buttered side up.
• 3. Mix the milk, eggs, Mexican vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar and a dash of salt with a whisk. Then pour over the bread stacks in the pan. There won't be enough liquid to totally submerge the top layer of bread, which is okay. Bake 35 to 40 minutes until nice and brown.

BOOZY BAKED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• 1. Generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with salted (my choice) or unsalted butter. 2. Arrange bread in two tightly-packed layers in the pan. I always cut one slice into smaller pieces to fill in gaps, especially when using braided Challah. If using a thinner-sliced bread, you might wish for more layers, though I find that over three, even baking can be difficult. If you are using any fillings of fruit or nuts, this is the time to get them between the layers or sprinkled atop. 3. Whisk milk, eggs, sugar, salt and booze or flavorings of your choice and pour over the bread. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. 4. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. The bread will absorb all of the milk custard while you sleep. 5. Bake at 425 for 30 minutes, or until puffed and golden. This will take longer if you have additional layers. 6. Cut into generous squares and serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit, powdered sugar or all of the above.
