Turn leftover hamburger buns into a slow cooker favorite

This Slow Cooker French Toast recipe uses hamburger buns for a unique, hearty texture, soaking them in a rich, sweet egg mixture before slow cooking them to a golden, custardy finish.

Ingredients:

How To Make Slow Cooker French Toast:

1. Step 1: Preparation: Grease the bottom and sides of a 6-quart slow cooker thoroughly with butter or cooking spray.
2. Step 2: Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the 6 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Whisk until well mixed.
3. Step 3: Dunking and Layering Buns: Dunk the hamburger buns into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well coated on all sides. Place the soaked buns at the bottom of the slow cooker, arranging them in a single layer if possible.
4. Step 4: Pouring Mixture: Pour any remaining egg mixture evenly over the buns in the slow cooker.
5. Step 5: Cooking: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5 hours or on HIGH for 3 hours, until the buns are golden, puffed up, and set in the center.
6. Step 6: Serving: Serve the French toast warm with butter, maple syrup, and any desired toppings.
