The BEST French Toast Casserole
This has to sit overnight which for me makes it perfect, lol. We have this every Christmas morning. Yummy!
Day 1
Combine
1/2 c whole milk or half & half
1 1/2 c dark brown sugar
3/4 c unsalted butter
1/4 c + 2 tbs light corn syrup (Karo)
pinch salt
in a heavy suacepan over medium heat and stir constantly for 5 minutes. Pour into a lightly greased 13" by 9" dish.
Fit slices of challah, brioche, Sally Lunn or french bread over syrup. Combine
4 eggs, beaten
2 1/2 c whole milk or half & half
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
and pour over bread. Cover and chill overnight.
Day 2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle 3 tbs of cinnamon sugar over casserole, cover with foil and bake at 350 for 45 - 50 minutes. Casserole will be syrupy, but should thicken a bit as it cools.
Edited to add: Cook the casserole covered for about 20 minutes and then remove the coverfor the rest of the cooking time. Sorry ladies!
