Egg-soaked French toast is baked over caramel-like slices of pineapple. Not only is this a great variation on the traditional breakfast theme, but you might consider it for morning coffee entertaining.

Ingredients

2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
4 slices canned pineapple, well
drained
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/8 tsp. salt
4 thick slices white or whole wheat bread

Directions

Melt butter in 8- or 9-inch square pan in oven as it preheats. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Lay pineapple slices over brown sugar, spacing evenly.

Beat eggs, milk and salt until blended. Soak 4 bread slices in milk mixture until soft, using all of the mixture. Arrange bread on top. Pour extra milk mixture over bread.

Bake at 400

Tips: You may prepare the whole dish ahead of time, except for the baking. After placing egg-milk-soaked bread over pineapple, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. This is also a dish easy to multiply for large groups. Allow 1 pineapple slice and 1 bread slice per serving. Use egg and milk in proportions given.
