Baked French Toast

IMG_3854

The ingredients:

IMG_3847

  • 2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup
  • 5 whole eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 loaf french bread

In a saucepan over medium heat, mix and melt the brown sugar, butter and corn syrup.

While mixture melts, prepare a 9″x13″ baking dish (or two 8″x8″ ones) by spraying with non-stick spray. Slice a loaf of french bread into slices 3/4 to 1 inch thick. I like to lay out the bread in the pan to see how it’s going to fit before I spray it.

Pour the well-blended butter-sugar mixture into the baking dish.

Arrange the bread slices flat in the mixture.

Blend the eggs, milk and vanilla in a blender.

Pour the egg mixture over the bread slices (not missing any areas).  Use all of the egg mixture; the excess will be absorbed by the bread.

Cover the baking dish and refrigerate overnight. See how nicely the bread soaked up the egg mixture?

Bake uncovered in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Serve directly from the baking dish.  Additional butter and syrup are not needed because it’s already covered in that brown sugar yumminess. 😛
