Instructions
Prehead oven to 350 degrees F.
Melt butter in cast iron skillet or (melt butter and pour in 8x8 cake pan)
Put the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Use whisk to mix all the ingredients. note: when I add farm fresh eggs. I break them in a bowl first to make sure that they are okay. I break one open in the bowl, add it to the large bowl, and so on. I have another bowl handy for the egg shells.
Cube 12 slices of french bread and add to the bowl of wet ingredients.
Mix until all the bread is coated with the mixture.
Pour the batter/bread into the pan with the butter on the bottom.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes. Longer if you desire your french bread drier and crispier on top.
Once done, remove to cool slightly
Glaze
Mix the powdered sugar and water together in a bowl.
Serve individual servings on a plate. Using a spoon, drizzle some of the glaze on top of the french bread bake.
Enjoy!
Notes
You can make this with our without cinnamon. I like mine with cinnamon. You can also add things like nuts or raisins. If I did this, it would probably be 1/2 cup. Or you could even sprinkle with brown sugar on top.If you take a look at the final product in the skillet, you will see it rises slightly.french bread bake before serving and glazingI recommend cutting out a piece and putting it on a pretty place and drizzling on the glaze. It gives it such a great look for serving.
