The bread became very soft after soaking all night!I don’t like to waste ANY food! I do whatever I can to use food to it’s best and fullest! We had part of a French loaf for the other day that had grown quite hard. I thought I’d try to make a French toast bake, even though it wasn’t soft! It was great! Although we did not eat this for dinner today, it would make a lovely “light” dinner!
Ingredients
1/2 French loaf, sliced and stale! ($.50)
6 eggs ($.75)
1/2 cup milk ($.10)
1/2 cup sugar ($.10)
dash of cinnamon
Handful of Blueberries ($1)
Fruit ($1)
Directions
1. In bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, sugar and cinnamon.
2. Cut bread into 1/2 inch slices and spread on bottom of 8×8 baking dish or equivalent.
3. Pour egg mixture over bread. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
4. In the morning, preheat oven to 350. Uncover and sprinkle with blueberries. Bake 35-40 minutes, until golden brown on top and eggs have cooked through. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm with syrup and fruit!

This looks really good! I was just thinking about having “breakfast for dinner” tonight – I’ll have to keep this in mind for another time.
Yummy! I made some homemade rolls this past week but not all of them got used…this is a perfect way to make good use of those leftovers!

Oh, that looks so good. I love to look at your price breakdowns. Saves me a lot of work.
This dish looks so yummy. Is it decent calorie-wise?
No idea on the calories?!?!?
I am making this right now!!! I will let you know how it turns out!!
I paired this with Turkey Bacon and it was so yummy!!!!
I made this (or something close) and it was great. I want to plan prepped meals for when my baby is due; do you think this would work if I prepped it and froze it to then thaw and bake?
You would have to bake it first and then thaw/reheat.
