Camping Dutch Oven French Toast: Easy Overnight Bake

Ingredients

• •8 slices thick bread
• •3 eggs
• •¼ cup sugar
• •2 tablespoons cinnamon
• •1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• •¼ teaspoon salt
• •1 cup milk
• •¾ cup blueberries

Equipment

• • Dutch oven
• • Lid lifter
• • Heat-resistant gloves

Instructions

1. 1Start your coals. Cut out a circular piece of parchment paper to serve as a liner inside a 10-inch Dutch oven.
2. 2Tear the bread into rustic pieces (roughly 2 inches square) and place in the Dutch oven on top of the parchment paper.
3. 3In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the eggs, then stir in salt, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Once those ingredients are fully incorporated, stir in the milk.
4. 4Now slowly drizzle the mixture over the bread. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to lightly toss the bread until each piece is evenly coated. Sprinkle the blueberries on top and mix gently.
5. 5Cover the Dutch oven and set it over seven evenly spaced briquets, then add 14 briquets to the top of the lid, giving a cooking temperature of about 350 degrees. Bake for about 30 minutes. Serve with butter and maple syrup.
