Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 12 slices bread
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instruction

  • Spray 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan bring brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup to a boil over medium heat. When the sugar is dissolved pour into the prepared pan.
  • Place six slices of bread on top of the caramel. You might need to squish the slices together to make them all fit.
  • In a small bowl mix the cinnamon and sugar together. Sprinkle half of the mixture over bread in the pan. Top with remaining six slices of bread.
  • In a large bowl whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla. Stir in remaining half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture and stir until combined. Pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Take french toast casserole out of the fridge and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Uncover dish and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden. Remove from oven. Use a spatula to flip the bread slices over onto a plate so the caramel side is up. Top with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve immediately.
