INGREDIENTS

½ cup MiYOKO’S butter

1 ¼ cup light brown sugar packed

1 loaf thick-sliced bread, about 2-inches thick

1 1/2 cups of JUST Egg

2 cups Chobani extra creamy oat milk

2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 pinch powdered sugar to dust

1 handful strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, kiwifruit, pineapple, banana, or any other fruit to serve

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Lightly grease an oven-safe 9″×13″ baking dish (22cm x 33cm).
2. Melt butter in a small pot over low heat. (Alternatively, melt in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 15 second increments, stirring in between, until melted.) 
3. Add 1 cup brown sugar, mixing well to combine. (If on the stove, let simmer for 1 minute to slightly dissolve the sugar.) Pour mixture into prepared dish and spread out to evenly coat.
4. Beat together JUST Eggs, oat milk, and vanilla. Set aside.
5. Combine remaining brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a separate bowl. Set aside.
6. Arrange bread in a single layer over the butter/sugar mixture in the dish.
7. Pour half of the egg wash over the bread. Top with half of the brown sugar/cinnamon. 
8. Arrange remaining bread slices over the top. Pour over remaining egg wash and top with remaining brown sugar/cinnamon. Lightly press bread into the egg wash to ensure slices are evenly soaked.
9. Cover tightly with foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to soak up the custard mixture, or overnight for the best results.
10. When ready to bake, take the dish out of the refrigerator 20 minutes before baking (if it has been in overnight) to get the chill out. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
11. Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes. 
12. Top with powdered sugar. Serve with the syrup from the dish.
