I got this recipe from my sister in law. She and my brother had it at their gift opening after the wedding. I make it any time we have people staying with us, and it is always a hit. You may sprinkle the top with pecans if you wish. Ingredients:
1 (1 pound) loaf french bread, cut diagonally in 1 inch slices |
8 eggs |
2 cups milk |
1 1/2 cups half-and-half cream |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
3/4 cup butter |
1 1/3 cups brown sugar |
3 tablespoons light corn syrup |
Directions:
1. Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange the slices of bread in the bottom. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour over bread slices, cover, and refrigerate overnight. 2. The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar and corn syrup; heat until bubbling. Pour over bread and egg mixture. 3. Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes. |
