Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 loaf Cinnamon Swirl Raisin Bread
30 nut cups or party cups
Fresh berries (sliced strawberries, blueberries or raspberries)
1 1/2 cups fat-free (skim) milk
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 vanilla bean, split, scraped
3 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Dash salt
1/3 cup butter
Real maple or maple-flavored syrup
Powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Cut bread into cubes; place on ungreased cookie sheet. Cover with clean tea towel to dry out a bit.
  • Place nut cups on large cookie sheet. Place a few berries in each cup.
  • While bread cubes are drying out, in 2-quart saucepan, heat both milks, cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the cinnamon, vanilla and vanilla bean 5 minutes or until warm throughout, stirring constantly. Set aside to steep 30 minutes. Remove vanilla bean. Beat eggs into mixture.
  • Dunk bread cubes into milk-egg mixture; divide evenly among nut cups. Repeat with all of the bread. Cover unbaked French toast tightly; refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • Heat oven to 350°F. Remove French toast from refrigerator; uncover. In small bowl, stir together flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the salt. With fork or fingers, cut in or rub butter into flour mixture until it resembles crumbs. Sprinkle Streusel Topping over French toast.
  • Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven; drizzle each with maple syrup. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
