I love breakfast foods. So does Brian. So do the kids. We could eat them any time of day, and a lot of times when we are a little indecisive about what to have for dinner, most of the time we pick Breakfast for dinner. Also known as brinner.
We have been grilling a lot this summer. Also, my kids have discovered the joy of putting anything grilled on a pretzel roll. I found a brand that is allergy friendly for them, and now I always have them in the house. So, we have kind of forgotten about our old stand by, brinner. Until recently.
I was kind of getting sick of grilling, and wanted to bring our old friend back for a special dinner brinner.
I made pretzel bread french toast, and it was delicious.
You could have this delicious treat any time of day, and you could even serve it up with a vanilla glaze instead of syrup for dessert and call it bread pudding. That is how good it is!
- 1 large pretzel loaf or 6 small pretzel rolls cut into cubes
- 6 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups 2% milk
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray and arrange bread cubes in dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bread mixture and making sure to coat all the bread. You may have stir it a bit.
- Cover the baking dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but overnight is best.
- The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Bake the French toast for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with maple syrup.
