Breakfast is, hands down, my favorite meal of the day. When my husband and I first met we had a long distance relationship. I lived in NY and he in MA. The first time I went to visit him over the weekend, he asked me where I'd like to go for dinner. I told him to cook me dinner, but take me out for breakfast. It's a long standing tradition for us on special occasions to celebrate by going out for breakfast!
I love to make special breakfasts at home too, and here is one that is always a big hit!
Ingredient:
- 1 loaf (16 oz) Cinnamon Swirl Bread or Cinnamon Raisin Bread, cut into cubes
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins
- 6 eggs
- 3 cups half-and-half
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Cinnamon sugar or confectioners' sugar
- Whipped butter
- Pure maple syrup
Place the bread cubes and cranberries/raisins in a greased 3-quart shallow baking dish. Beat the eggs, half-and-half and vanilla in a medium bowl with a fork or whisk. Pour over the bread cubes. Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight.
The next morning, uncover the dish. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes or until golden brown and set in the center.
Sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar. Serve with the butter and syrup.
Enjoy!
