The Best You'll Ever Have...

I made this recipe a few months ago when I had 

some friends over for breakfast. 

It was absolutely the most delicious 

French Toast I have ever had. 

You can find Texas Toast in the bread aisle of your grocery store.  

It's thick sliced white bread. 

You WANT to use Texas Toast.

Do not try to use regular white bread.  

Overnight French Toast Casserole

1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick)

12 - slices Texas toast 

1 - cup brown sugar

1 - tsp cinnamon

1/4 - tsp nutmeg

1/2 - cup chopped pecans (optional)

1 - tsp vanilla extract

5 - eggs

1 1/2 - cups milk

DIRECTIONS:

THE NIGHT BEFORE YOU PLAN TO SERVE:

• Melt butter and pour in a 9x 13 pan.  
  
• Mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and chopped pecans. 
  
• Whisk eggs, milk & vanilla together. 
  
• Layer bottom of pan with half the bread pieces 
• Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mix over the bread.

• Pour egg mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly. 
  
• Sprinkle remaining brown sugar on top.

THE NEXT MORNING:

• Preheat oven to 350 bake the casserole for 30 minutes. 
  
• Then uncover and bake 15 more minutes, your French Toast should be browned and set.

This recipe was a HUGE HIT!

I ate the leftovers for lunch and dinner that same day!

Enjoy!

My Famous Quiche

Today I'm sharing my recipe for quiche.

It's one of my favorite dishes to serve when I have friends over.

Last year I made 22 quiches for our Mother/Daughter Tea at our church

 along with a huge salad which I will be sharing in the future.  

Due to the number of quiches I was making, I changed the recipe quite a bit and added different types of cheeses, some without spinach, 

some with chopped broccoli, 

different meats and some without meat.  

For this quiche,  I've used my own pie crust and pre-packaged crust.

Last year due to how many I was making, I used a frozen crust 

and let me tell you it was delicious!  

INGREDIENTS:

4 eggs

2 cups heavy whipping cream

10 slices of bacon, already cooked and crumbled

One package of chopped spinach, thawed and completely squeezed dry

2 cups of cheddar cheese

1 pie crust, fitted into a quiche baking dish or a pie plate

Mix together 4 eggs with 2 cups heavy whipping cream. 

Add bacon, spinach, and cheddar cheese.

Pour into your unbaked pie shell...

Bake at 425 for 15 minutes, then at 325 for another 35 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle of the quiche comes out clean.   

ENJOY!
