Cannoissueras, here's an idea for a kicked up french toast for you.
CANNA FRENCH TOAST STRATA
This recipe will need to be prepared at least 4 hours, or a day ahead, so it can go into the refrigerator for a few hours to soak up all of the canna milk.
This can feed at least 4 people. It's a big recipe.
Ingredients:
4 oz. Day old French or Italian Bread (cut into 3/4" cubes)
1/3 C. Golden raisins or regular raisins
1 Pkg. Cream cheese cut into cubes
3 eggs
1 1/2 C. Canna Milk
1/2 C. Maple syrup (or canna syrup if you like)
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
2 Tbs. sugar
1 tsp. Cinnamon
Optional: a little more cinnamon based on your taste preference and some powdered sugar for dusting the top
Directions:
The day of baking, preheat oven to 350 F.
Lightly grease or spray an 11" x 7" baking dish.
Cube the bread up and place it into the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
Dot the top with the raisins, and then dot the cream cheese squares over the top.
Beat the eggs until a bit foamy, then add the syrup, cannamilk, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well mixed.
Pour the mixture over the bread in a nice even layer so all of the bread pieces get to soak up liquid.
Cover the dish and place it in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight to allow the bread to absorb.
When you are ready to cook, mix the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle it on the top.
Use more cinnamon if you like. Keep in mind, it will make for a much darker crust on top with more cinnamon.
Bake at 350 F. degrees for 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Serve with a little dusting of powdered sugar.
Serve it up with eggs and sausage, syrup...bacon...yeah...this is good stuff right here.
