Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced).
  2. Lightly spray a 23cm x 33cm baking dish with olive oil.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the a2 Milk® Full Cream, eggs, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the 3 tbsp brown sugar and 1/4 tsp cinnamon for the topping. Set aside.
  5. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let excess drip off.
  6. Arrange the soaked bread slices in the prepared baking dish at a slight angle, overlapping each slice. Try to arrange as evenly as possible so all slices cook at the same rate.
  7. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon topping evenly over the bread.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.
  9. Remove from oven. Top with toasted almonds, hazelnuts, pomegranate seeds, and cherries if desired.
  10. Drizzle with maple syrup and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
