ST. LOUIS — It’s time to slow it down and enjoy some snow day morning goodness.
Do you have a slow cooker? Well, if so, we'll assume you rushed out to get all the basic ingredients for French Toast, plus some. Here's a recipe we just found on Pinterest.
Here’s what you need:
- 1 loaf of bread (I chose brioche!)
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp brown sugar cinnamon
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
- ½ cupped pecans (optional)
- Dash of nutmeg
Instructions:
- Whisk eggs, milk, cinnamon…pour over diced bread in a large bowl. Cover and let soak in the fridge for at least four hours (overnight is better)
- When ready to bake, spray the inside of a slow cooker (4-6 quart is best)
- Add in bread mix
- In a separate bowl, mix together butter, brown sugar cinnamon, pecans and nutmeg. Crumble and spread on top of bread.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 hours (2 hours on high if you’re in a rush)
Let sit for 15-20 minutes and serve. Enjoy!
**You can also use gluten-free bread and/or dairy-free milk and margarine.
