~~~~~~~ Christmas Morning French Toast ~~~~~~~

Ingredients:

1/2 (1 pound) loaf of French Bread
4 eggs
1 cup of milk
3/4 cup Half-and-Half Cream
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp. butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla extract (the imitation vanilla does not give as much rich flavor)
1 tbsp. + 1 1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup

Directions:

Butter a 9×13 baking dish.

Cut the french bread diagonally into 1-inch slices.

Place the bread on the bottom of the baking dish.

Grab a large bowl and beat together the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla and cinnamon.  Pour this over the bread slices.

Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Christmas morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup.  Heat this until it’s bubbly.

Pour this over the bread and egg mixture.

Baked uncovered for 40 minutes.

Tastes great with some fresh ground coffee! 

Happy Cooking!
