Raspberry Stuffed French Toast Gluten Free Dairy Free Food

GLUTEN-FREE FRENCH TOAST {DAIRY-FREE OPTION}

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pure vanilla, and milk in a shallow dish such as a pie plate or casserole dish.
• Melt the butter over medium heat in a skillet.
• Dip the gluten-free bread in the egg mixture, flipping to make sure both sides get well coated. The longer you leave the bread in the egg mixture the more it will soak up the egg mixture and will take a little longer to cook.
• Cook the soaked bread piece on medium heat until golden brown. Flip to cook the other side of the bread until golden brown. Each slice should take 2-3 minutes to cook. Serve immediately. To keep the French Toast warm while cooking the additional slices, place the cooked slices on a baking sheet and in the oven at 275°F.

RASPBERRY BAKED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Grease a 9 x 13 x 2-inch oval baking dish with the butter and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, the brown sugar, vanilla, orange zest, and salt.
• Spread half of the diced bread in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle on the raspberries in one layer. Top with the rest of the bread and pour on the egg mixture, pressing down lightly to moisten the bread. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the baking dish on a sheet pan and bake it for 60 to 70 minutes, until the custard is set and the top is puffed and browned. Check after 45 minutes; if the top is getting too browned, cover it lightly with aluminum foil. Cool for 10 minutes, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, dust with extra orange zest, and serve warm with maple syrup.
