Monte Cristo Casserole! Frozen French toast, eggs, sliced ham, sliced turkey (deli packages), eggs, baked together, served with Syrup or jam and powdered sugar. It's in the SBRC from about 3 years ago--do a recipe search on it. We love it, it's quick and cheap, and feeds a ton!!

Thanks to both of you again!!!!!!
 
Here is a recipe that I found on Food Network that my family liked - I tried it out for a show I was suppose to have a couple months ago. The show was was to take place at 8:30 in the morning. What I was going to do is to make the recipe the day before for the guest and then the one that I fix in front of the guest will be for the family the next day (which would be for Sunday morning - all the work would be done for the host - she would only have to bake it). But the host fell down and broke her leg is three places and had to have surgery (twice) She hasn't rescheduled yet because of all the therapy she is going through and she just might have to have another surgery to adjust the pins. Will see.

It is a great recipe and it uses a lot on PC products.

Show: Paula's Home Cooking
Episode: Spring Brunch

1 loaf French bread (13 to 16 ounces)
8 large eggs
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Dash salt
Praline Topping, recipe follows
Maple syrup

Slice French bread into 20 slices, 1-inch each. (Use any extra bread for garlic toast or bread crumbs). Arrange slices in a generously buttered 9 by 13-inch flat baking dish in 2 rows, overlapping the slices. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half-and-half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and beat with a rotary beater or whisk until blended but not too bubbly. Pour mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Spread Praline Topping evenly over the bread and bake for 40 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden. Serve with maple syrup.


Praline Topping:
1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and blend well. Makes enough for Baked French Toast Casserole.

Place the slices onto a greased baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with your desired toppings.

2. Can I use any type of bread for this recipe?

Yes, you can use any type of bread for this recipe. However, thicker slices of bread, such as French or sourdough, work best as they hold up well to the egg mixture and baking process.

3. Can I prepare this recipe the night before?

Yes, you can prepare this recipe the night before. Simply follow the instructions for dipping the bread slices into the egg mixture and place them into a greased baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, preheat your oven and bake as directed.

4. What are some recommended toppings for this recipe?

Some recommended toppings for the Baked French Toast Recipe are fresh berries, sliced bananas, chopped nuts, whipped cream, and maple syrup. You can also get creative and use your favorite jams, chocolate chips, or caramel sauce.

5. Can I freeze the leftover Baked French Toast?

Yes, you can freeze the leftover Baked French Toast. Let it cool completely, then place it in an airtight container or freezer bag. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven or microwave. It may not be as crispy as when freshly made, but still just as delicious.
