Ingredients
1
medium size loaf of French Bread
8
eggs
1¾
cups milk
2
tsp cinnamon
½
cups brown sugar
1
tbsp vanilla extract
½
tsp nutmeg
¼
cups maple syrup
¼
cups butter
melted
½
cups walnut
chopped
Preparation
Cut the bread into slices 3/4″ – 1″ thick.
In a large bowl, whip the eggs, and add the milk, cinnamon, 1/4 c. brown sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. Mix well.
Soak the slices of bread in the egg mixture overnight in a covered container in the refrigerator. All of the mixture should be absorbed into the bread by morning.
In the morning, spray the slow cooker pot with cooking spray (or use a liner to make your clean-up much easier!)
Stand the soaked bread slices on end in the pot. Keep them in a single layer: all pieces should be touching the bottom and most of them should also be touching a side of the pot.
Cook on high 1-2 hours until the bread on the sides of the pot is browning nicely and the egg is cooking. Turn the slow cooker to low.
Mix 1/4 c. brown sugar, syrup, butter and walnuts in a small bowl.
Pour the walnut mixture over the toast and cook on low for another hour or until you are happy with the toast mixture.
