ST. LOUIS — It’s time to slow it down and enjoy some snow day morning goodness.

Do you have a slow cooker? Well, if so, we'll assume you rushed out to get all the basic ingredients for French Toast, plus some. Here's a recipe we just found on Pinterest.

Here’s what you need:

  • 1 loaf of bread (I chose brioche!)
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp brown sugar cinnamon
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • ½ cupped pecans (optional)
  • Dash of nutmeg

Instructions:

  • Whisk eggs, milk, cinnamon…pour over diced bread in a large bowl. Cover and let soak in the fridge for at least four hours (overnight is better)
  • When ready to bake, spray the inside of a slow cooker (4-6 quart is best)
  • Add in bread mix
  • In a separate bowl, mix together butter, brown sugar cinnamon, pecans and nutmeg. Crumble and spread on top of bread.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4 hours (2 hours on high if you’re in a rush)

Let sit for 15-20 minutes and serve. Enjoy!

**You can also use gluten-free bread and/or dairy-free milk and margarine.
