Test Kitchen Crock Pot French Toast

So, we’re testing out Crock Pot French Toast.
Or… French Toast in a Slow Cooker, if you prefer.

It seems people always wonder why you would want to cook *insert crock pot food item here that takes no time to make* in a slow cooker.

Well, there are lots of reasons to use the slow cooker…

Maybe it’s too HOT to use the oven.

Maybe it’s the holidays and your oven is too crowded.

Or, maybe you just want to set it and fugedabodit.

Whatever the reason you’re crocking, most things are worth trying at least once in the slow cooker.

The Universe and viewer Teresa S. tell Sara from Average Betty to make Crock Pot French Toast. Sara listens and the results are gooey and sweet.

NOTES: Makes a big ol’ crock full of french toast. Serves 8-10. When serving, spoon out and flip over onto plate for “brulee” effect. I consulted these recipes for this Test Kitchen Experiment: Extra Crispy, Kraft and Recipe Tips. I used Kings Hawaiian Sweet Rolls.
