Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring the margarine, white Karo syrup, and brown sugar to a boil.
- Grease a 9 x 13-inch pan and pour the caramel mixture into the bottom.
- Cut Texas toast into slices (4 strips per slice).
- Arrange the slices close together on top of the caramel sauce in the pan.
- Beat together a topping (not specified in the original recipe) and pour it over the bread.
- Bake or serve as desired (note: the original instructions do not specify further steps).
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting half of the margarine with unsalted butter. If you want a bit of a crunch, add chopped nuts to the caramel mixture. To make this dish more indulgent, you can use brioche or challah bread instead of Texas toast. Ensure the caramel is bubbling before pouring it over the bread for the best texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Skiers French Toast warm, topped with fresh fruit or a drizzle of maple syrup. It pairs beautifully with a side of Dena'S Oklahoma Slaw for a refreshing crunch, or creamy yogurt for added richness. You could also enjoy it with a warm cup of coffee or tea for a delightful breakfast experience.
