This is a sponsored conversation between myself and LoneStar Eggs, all opinions and ideas are my own.
Everything is bigger in Texas. Our hats, our cars, the stars and our toast. If you don’t know what I’m talking about let me enlighten you. In Texas we have our own toast, Texas Toast. It’s twice the thickness or regular sliced bread and it’s amazing. I’m dressing up one of my favorite sweet breakfast dishes with it and making Texas French Toast Bake.
Along with Texas toast, I made sure to get Lonestar eggs for my breakfast cooking. Lonestar Eggs are a Texas company that is locally producing delicious Extra Large eggs (I told you everything is bigger in Texas) across Texas. I feel like this dish should just be called Texas Toast bake, but it just doesn’t sounds right, I’ll work on it.
The best thing about this dish is you don’t need may ingredients and you are going to have an amazing breakfast.
Mix 1/2 of your brown sugar in with the melted butter and pour into baking dish.
Layer your Texas Toast in the baking dish, cutting pieces to fill in any holes.
Pour 1 cup of egg mixture over the top of the Texas toast layer. Repeat with second layer.
Sprinkle top with remaining brown sugar and cinnamon mixture. Cover and refrigerate.
- 1/2 loaf of Texas Toast
- 4 Lonestar Eggs XL
- 1/2 stick of butter
- 1 c. packed brown sugar divided
- 1 tsp. Vanilla
- 1 c. milk
- 1 tbs. cinnamon
- Powdered sugar
- Melt butter in microwave, add 1/2 c. brown sugar and mix well.
- Pour into the bottom of a 9" x 13" greased baking dish
- In a separate bowl whisk eggs, milk and vanilla together.
- Place layer of Texas toast in baking dish and pour 1 cup of egg mixture over top of bread.
- Place 2nd layer of Texas toast on top of egg mixture and pour remaining egg mixture over the top.
- Sprinkle the top of bread with remaining 1/2 c of brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
- Cover and place in fridge for 4 hours - 24 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 and bake for 45 minutes

Love how simple this is! Do you find Texas toast in the bakery or freezer section?
