Cinnamon French Toast Bake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 crusty Portuguese rolls (cubed)
8 eggs (lightly beaten)
2 tablespoons cinnamon baking chips
3 cups 2% low-fat milk
2 tablespoons Splenda brown sugar blend
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon Splenda brown sugar blend
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Preparation

1. Place bread cubes in a greased 13 in x 9 in baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and salt.
3. Pour Egg mixture over bread. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
4. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Add cinnamon chips (I like to give it a quick toss to mix the bread with the egg mixture a little more).
5. Dot with butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over top.
6. Cover and bake at 350F for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes. Serve with Maple syrup if desired.
