Easy Oven-Baked French Toast

Ingredients

1/3 cup butter or margerine, at room temperature

6 large eggs

1 1/2 cups milk

1 1/2 tbsp confectioners' sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp cinnamon

12 thick slices firm white bread

confectioners' sugar for dusting

Instructions

1) Adjust oven racks so that one is in the lowest position and the other is in the middle. Heat oven to 425 degrees.

2) Using about 2 tablespoons of the butter, grease 2 jelly-roll pans.

3) Lightly beat eggs with a fork in a medium sized bowl. Stir in milk, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and cinnamon until blended.

4) Dip bread, one slice at a time, in egg mixture, turning bread to coat well on both sides. Place 6 slices in each prepared jelly-roll pan. Cut remaining butter in tiny pieces and scatter over bread.

5) Place 1 pan on each oven rack. Bake 15 minutes, switching positions of pans once, until bread is golden brown.

6) Remove to serving platter. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
