Overnight French Toast
I got several emails asking about the overnight french toast recipe that I mentioned in the Breakfast for Dinner post. Here it is:
Overnight French Toast
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1/2 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 (1 pound) loaf French bread, sliced
5 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1. Combine the corn syrup, butter and brown sugar in a small sauce pan and simmer until the sugar has melted. Pour this mixture over the bottom of a greased 9×13 casserole dish
2. Place bread slices over the butter-sugar mixture in the dish. In a bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla and salt. Pour this mixture over the bread. Cover the dish and let it stand in the fridge overnight.
3. The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
4. Uncover the pan and bake for 45 minutes. Serve while hot or warm or it will harden in the pan. It can be reheated.
I’ve made this several times and it is as easy as it is good. Makes me want some french toast right now.
Enjoy!
