Cinnamon Baked French Toast [0001040]

Ingredients:

8 slices gluten-free bread
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Maple syrup and powdered sugar for serving (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish.

Arrange the gluten-free bread slices in a single layer in the greased baking dish.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices in the baking dish. Make sure each slice is soaked.

Drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the top.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and let it sit for 10-15 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the custard mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven, covered with foil, for 20-25 minutes.

Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the French toast is puffed up and golden brown.

Serve your Cinnamon Baked French Toast hot, with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Enjoy this gluten-free twist on classic French toast, baked to perfection with a delightful cinnamon flavor!
