Caramelized Baked French Toast

Serves 6-8

1 ½ cups brown sugar

¾ cup butter

¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons corn syrup

10 thick slices,” Texas toast” cuts of bread or 20 regular bread slices, whole wheat or white bread

4 eggs

2-½ cups milk

¼ tsp. Salt

1 tsp. vanilla

** 2 –3 Tbs. sugar, mixed with a little cinnamon and nutmeg

In saucepan melt butter, brown sugar and corn syrup together.

Pour into a greased 9”X13” baking dish.  Arrange bread over brown sugar mixture.  (Use two slices of bread together, if you are using the regular sliced breads, which is what I always use)  Beat the eggs, milk, salt, and vanilla together and pour over the bread.  Cover and chill overnight.  Sprinkle top with **sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg mixture and bake @ 350 degrees for 45 – 50 minutes.  Using a pancake turner flip over bread slices on to a plate and serve with a spoonful of plain vanilla yogurt in the center of each slice.

J Great for company or Christmas breakfast!
