This is a great weekend breakfast. You prep it the night before and after a 30 minute warm up you bake it for another 30 minutes. That is the perfect amount of time to get your coffee brewed, table set, and the family up and at ‘em.
I like to serve this with sausage or bacon and apple slices.
Caramel French Toast Bake
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 Tablespoon light corn syrup
- 6 1 inch thick slices French bread
- 2 Tablespoons white sugar

- In a small sauce pan over medium heat combine the brown sugar, butter and corn syrup.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Pour caramel into prepared pan.
- Cut or tear the French bread in to 1 inch cubes. No need to be exact but you do want them roughly the same size.

- Combine the white sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle half the cinnamon sugar over the bread.
- Add the other half of the bread in the pan and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar.
- In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, vanilla, and milk.
- Pour the custard over the bread and press down lightly if needed.
- Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or over night.
- Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden and cooked through. A knife inserted in the middle should be clean when removed.
- Cool slightly before serving,
