Preparation and Cooking Times:

Ingredients:

• Soy margarine – ¼ cup
• Brown sugar – ½ cup
• Ground cinnamon – ¾ teaspoon
• Soy milk – ½ cup
• Confectioners’ sugar – 1 to 2 tablespoons
• Egg substitute – ½ cup (or equivalent to 1 egg)
• Bread slices – 4 to 6 (your choice of bread)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pan:
   Start by drizzling the melted soy margarine evenly over the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking pan. Gently tilt the pan to ensure the margarine covers the entire surface.

2. Mix the Sugar and Spice:
   In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Use a fork to mix them until well blended. This fragrant mixture will create a delightful caramel layer.

3. Sprinkle the Sugar Mixture:
   Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the melted margarine in the baking pan. This will form a sweet, caramelized base for the French toast.

4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
   In a glass pie plate, whisk together ½ cup of egg substitute and ¼ cup of soy milk until thoroughly combined. This mixture will coat the bread slices and give them that classic French toast texture.

5. Coat the Bread:
   Using your fingers or a fork, dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. If you find that the egg mixture isn’t enough to cover all the bread slices, you can add an additional ¼ cup of egg substitute and 2 tablespoons more of soy milk.

6. Arrange the Bread:
   Lay the coated bread slices over the sugar-cinnamon mixture in the baking pan. Pour any remaining egg mixture over the bread slices to ensure they are well soaked.

7. Refrigerate Overnight:
   Cover the pan with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight. This allows the bread to absorb all the flavors and ensures a perfect texture when baked.

8. Prepare for Baking:
   About 45 minutes to 1 hour before you plan to bake, remove the pan from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature. This step is crucial for even baking.

9. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

10. Bake the French Toast:
    Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, carefully remove the foil from the pan and return it to the oven. Bake for an additional 15 minutes to ensure the top is golden and crispy.

11. Cool and Serve:
    Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool on a rack for a few minutes. Before serving, sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar for a touch of extra sweetness. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful blend of caramelized sugar and soft, flavorful French toast.
