Breakfast Hot Dishes Perfect for Cold Winter Mornings

As the temperatures fall, breakfast hot dishes are the ideal way to lure your family to the the table. Here are two fabulous recipes from Theresa Millang’s Great Minnesota Hot Dish, the go-to source for comfort food for years.

Cinnamon French Toast Hot Dish

Ingredients

2 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs, lightly beaten
12 slices whole wheat bread, cut in half crosswise
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup powdered sugar
11/2 cups golden raisins
21/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400˚F.
Combine milk, vanilla, and eggs in a medium-size bowl; whisk until blended. Dip bread slices in milk mixture to coat. Layer 1/3 coated bread slices on bottom of a buttered 9×9-inch square glass baking dish; drizzle evenly with 1/3 butter, 1/3 sugar, and 1/2 raisins.

Repeat layers once, going a different direction with the bread. Top with remaining 1/3 bread, 1/3 butter, and 1/3 sugar. Top with ground cinnamon. Cover and bake 25 minutes. Remove cover; bake 15 minutes. Serves 6.

Make It Modern: Substitute 12 slices buttermilk bread for whole wheat bread.
