Ericka's Overnight Baked French Toast
Overnight Baked French Toast
12 slices firm white bread
6 large eggs
2 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
1/8 tsp salt
In medium bowl, beat together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well blended. Dip bread slices into egg mixture and arrange bread in three slice high stacks in 8 inch square baking dish. If you use 9x13 pan, you will need to arrange in two slice high stacks and adjust your topping amount.
Slowly pour remaining egg mixture over bread slices, spooning mixture over any uncovered bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Topping:
½ C packed brown sugar
4 Tbls butter or margarine, softened
1 Tbls maple syrup
(Another option is to cut up one or two apples and cook in small saucepan until soft – barely cover with water. Then add the above ingredients and heat until well mixed. Then follow the directions below. You could probably substitute other fruit as well.)
Preheat oven to 350F (about 180C). In a small bowl stir brown sugar, butter and maple syrup until combined. Spread evenly over the top of each stack of bread. Bake until knife inserted in middle comes out clean (about 1 hour). Let stand before serving. (Serves 8)

Make-Your-Own Breakfast Sausage
Homemade Sausage
In ¼ C warm clean water, dissolve:
2 ½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
2 tsp sage
½ tsp ground cloves
½ tsp sugar
½ tsp chili powder or flakes
2 garlic cloves minced or ¼ tsp garlic powder
Mix into 4 cups ground pork (You might try beef or chicken. I have only used pork but think it could be similar. You may need to add a little oil if it is too dry). After mixing thoroughly form into patties and fry. You might fry one and taste it to see if anything needs to be adjusted to your tastes. Raw sausage can be frozen and used later or fried in patties and frozen after cooking.
