Oven Baked French Toast

recipe from Sept. issue of Southern Living (unknown year). It’s similar to the one here.

1/2 tablespoon almond flavoring
3 egg whites, stiffly beaten
16 (3/4 inch think) slices French bread

Place 2 tablespoons butter in each of two 13 x 9 x 2 inch pans and heat at 425 until hot.

Combine egg yolks, sugar, and salt; beat at high speed of an electric mixer until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually add milk and amaretto; fold in egg whites. Dip bread slices into egg mixture; place in hot pans. Bake at 425 for 10 minutes; turn and bake 5 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
