Crock Pot Cinnamon French Toast

4 cups of milk (1 used 2 cups of skim, and 2 cups of heavy cream)
1/4 t salt
2 t cinnamon

1/4 cup walnuts, or other desired nuts (optional).

The Directions.

Grease the inside of your crock pot (5-6 qt) very well with butter, shortening, or cooking spray. Slice your bread into large slices (if it’s already sliced, just dump it in) and place the bread into the crock pot.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla together. Pour on top of the bread.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. This is done when the bread has soaked up all of the liquid and the egg has cooked (you can tell because you’ll see bits of cooked egg stuck to the bread). You can then take the lid off but leave it plugged in for about 15 min-serve! Can serve with fruit preserves or maple syrup!
