What You Need:

1	loaf Udi’s Cinnamon Raisin Bread (14 slices)	1
6	large eggs	6
¾ cup	almond, soy or cow’s milk	175 ml
¾ cup	sweetened, carton coconut milk	175 ml
½ Tbsp.	ground cinnamon	30 ml
½ Tbsp.	vanilla	30 ml
	butter or margarine to coat
4 cups	fresh or frozen seasonal fruit	950 ml
½ cup	vanilla Greek yogurt	125 ml
	icing sugar or maple syrup

 

How You Prepare:

Cut each slice of Udi’s Cinnamon Raisin Bread into 12 pieces and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, coconut milk, cinnamon, and vanilla. Coat the bottom of an 8 x 12 inch large casserole dish or for an extra crispy bake a 10 x 15 inch high-rimmed baking sheet with a little butter or margarine. Make a single layer of the bread pieces. Pour egg mixture over bread. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Remove the plastic wrap and bake for about 30 minutes or until the tops of the bread are golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cut into squares and serve with seasonal fruit, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a little sprinkle of icing sugar or maple syrup.
