Ingredients

1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
6 slices French bread
1 to 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
12 ripe strawberries, sliced
Syrup (optional)

Melt the margarine in the small saucepan on the stove. Or melt it in the microwave-safe bowl in the microwave. Pour into the oven-proof pan.
In one small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the melted margarine.
In the other small bowl, combine the eggs and milk. Stir until well blended.
Dip a slice of the bread in the egg-and-milk mixture, coating both sides. Place in the oven-proof pan. Repeat for the other slices of bread.
Pour the remaining egg-and-milk mixture over the bread, cover with tin foil, and bake for 25 minutes in a preheated 375 degree oven. Take the foil off and bake for 10 more minutes.
Sprinkle the powdered sugar on top of the French toast and top with the sliced strawberries. Serve with syrup, if desired.

Directions

Variations: Use regular bread instead of French bread. Substitute other fruit for the strawberries.
