1. Line a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker with a plastic slow cooker liner. Place bread cubes in prepared slow cooker.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt. Pour over bread cubes in cooker. Press bread lightly with back of a large spoon to moisten bread completely. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 4 to 24 hours.
3. Remove from refrigerator. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 7 to 8 hours or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Turn off cooker. Let stand for 30 minutes. Carefully lift plastic liner from cooker, using a plate to transfer French toast to a cutting board. If desired, slice French toast to serve or spoon it into serving dishes. Top with ice cream topping. Makes 12 servings.

Waste of time and money. It went into the garbage.

5/17/2011 12:20:23 PM Report Abusefrench toast are so easy! take bread of any kind, soak in a milk, egg and spice mixture, fry in the frying pan, flipping when ready, and sauce if you want. You can even make them savory and serve with meat.
1/18/2011 09:05:21 PM Report AbuseI made a similar recipe from their slow-cooker cookbook and it was a disaster. After 8 hours, it still wasn't cooked. We had to scoop it out, lay the pieces on a cookie sheet and bake them for quite awhile. I disguised the mess with fresh fruit so it didn't look quite so ugly. I thought they tested these recipes?!?
12/18/2010 01:01:36 PM Report AbuseI must admit, there is absolutely no reason to slow cook french toast! It would be TOASTED, just soggy and wet as far as I can see. You could amend this recipe to get the same flavours only saute it in a buttered frying pan. Now that is a much better idea!
