Cranberry Pecan French Toast

For a delicious new take on a breakfast treat, try French toast made with Chabaso Cranberry Pecan Loaf. This all natural bread has no preservatives and no trans-fats – it’s made with whole grains, cranberries, pecan morsels, flaxseed and honey, and topped with oats.

Ingredients:
1 loaf Chabaso Classic Ciabatta or Cranberry Pecan Loaf
1/2 stick softened unsalted butter
2 large eggs
1 2/3 cups milk (preferably whole)

Instructions:
Cut 1-inch-thick diagonal slices from bread, reserving ends for bread crumbs. Butter 1 side of each slice and arrange slices, buttered sides up, in 1 layer in a buttered rectangular glass baking dish, squeezing them slightly to fit if necessary. Whisk together eggs, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until combined well, then pour evenly over bread. Chill, covered, until bread has absorbed all of the mix, at least 1 hour. Preheat oven to 425°F. Bring mixture to room temperature. Bake, uncovered, in middle of oven until bread is puffed and top is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
