French Toast - in a slow cooker!

I don't know about you, but I love French Toast. The only thing I dislike about it is having to stand over a hot pan while flipping bread and juggling whatever else you have going on in the kitchen at the time. That's where this recipe comes in - you just put the bread in a crockpot and forget about it for a couple hours. Perfect! Next time I won't cook this quite as long, the bread got a little bit hard (I read reviews saying it was mushy so I cooked it longer, which I shouldn't have done).

This is a must-make recipe!

Crockpot French Toast
adapted from Suddenly Frugal

Ingredients:
6 eggs
1 cup milk
1 loaf of bread
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 T cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
Butter

Directions:

Let the bread sit out overnight to harden slightly (I made homemade bread for this recipe and froze the second loaf for future use).

Liberally coat the inside of your slow cooker with butter.

In a bowl mix the eggs, milk, brown sugar and cinnamon. Dip each piece of bread in this mixture, then pour the remaining liquid mixture over the bread.

Turn the slow cooker on low for four to six hours, checking every few hours to make sure the bread is not drying out too much.Serve with maple syrup, and fruit. Enjoy!
