Overnight French Toast Recipe

If you like French Toast and/or like to have something a little nicer for breakfast if you have overnight company, you will definitely want to try this recipe!  It's a keeper.  It is almost like dessert.

Note - I always use real butter, not margarine, when baking.  It makes a big difference.

OVERNIGHT FRENCH TOAST

2 T. corn syrup
1/2 c. butter
1 c. packed brown sugar
5 eggs
1 1/2 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
1 loaf sliced French bread

Combine the corn syrup, butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan.  Simmer until bubbly and the sugar has melted.  Pour over the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 pan.

Place bread slices (may not need the whole loaf) over the mixture in the baking dish.  In a bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla and salt; pour over bread.  Cover and refrigerate overnight.

The next morning, preheat oven to 350.  Uncover pan and bake 45 minutes.  

If you buy unsliced bread, slice it to about 1" thick.
