Overnight Caramel French Toast

This is the BEST breakfast recipe I've ever made!!  Today is my daughter's 13th birthday.  I usually make a special meal for them.  She chose this.  I got this recipe from my sister in law Heather at Christmas time.  I use more bread than the recipe calls for to fill up the 11 x 14 pan.  I use 7 eggs instead of 6.

OVERNIGHT CARAMEL FRENCH TOAST

1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
12 slices whole wheat bread (it holds together better than white)
(I used 17 pieces of bread)
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon; divided
6 eggs beaten
1 1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Lightly grease a 13 x 9 baking dish (I use 11 x 14 pan)

Bring brown sugar, butter and corn syrup to a boil.  Remove from heat; pour into baking dish.  Top with remaining bread.

Beat eggs, milk, vanilla and remaining cinnamon; pour over bread.  Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Remove dish from refrigerator; preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake 30-35 minutes.

Makes 4-6 servings (with more bread you feed close to 8 people)

The finished product!!  OOOO so gooey!!

Oh my, this looks fantastic. I'll definitely have to give it a try. I love breakfast that you can make the night before and just pop it in the oven in the morning.

I am definitely going to try this! I have made a similar recipe, but without the syrup and you tear/cube the bread. I think this looks simpler though.

and I think I have the same pan too! ;-)
