Carmel French Toast

Ingredients

• 1 c. Brown sugar
• ½ c. Butter
• 2Tb Light corn syrup
• Pecan Pieces- I added them to this recipe
• 12 slices French bread (we had asked for Texas toast and got none donated so I ordered Sendik’s unsliced white bakery bread on sale and sliced thicker slices myself)
• Cinnamon sugar (white sugar with cinnamon added)
• 6 Eggs- beaten
• 1 ½ c. Milk (I used whole milk)
• 1 Tb Vanilla

Instructions

1. Grease 9x13 inch pan- I used cooking spray.
2. Cook and stir brown sugar, butter and corn syrup on stove until it bubbles.
3. Pour into bottom of pan.
4. Sprinkle pecan pieces over caramel base- optional.
5. Layer bread slices (as many as you can) into 2 layers.
6. Sprinkle bread slices with cinnamon sugar.
7. Combine beaten eggs, milk and vanilla. Pour over bread.
8. Cover and let set overnight in refrigerator.
9. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees- thin slices 30 minutes, thicker slices 60 minutes until bread is golden brown. At home, we did not butter it or use syrup when we ate this.
