I found some recipes online, but didn't have everything that any of them called for, so I did what I typically do and just made it up.
The kids are fairly sure I just invented the most awesome thing in the world. I'm going to let them think that for as long as it works.
- 1 loaf of bread, torn into small pieces (I used whole wheat, the loaf that got squished on the way home from the grocery store)
- 4 cups of milk
- 7 eggs, beaten
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tbsp vanilla
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 cup raisins (optional)
Tear bread and put into a 9x13 casserole pan, combine with raisins. Beat eggs and melted butter together, then add sugars and milk, cinnamon and vanilla. Pour milk an egg mixture over bread, pressing bread down into the liquid until everything is saturated.
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
