Creme Brulee French Toast

from Mormon cookbook

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp corn syrup
• 1 loaf Texas Toast bread or other thick sliced bread (I just bought French bread and cut into thick slices)
• 5 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups half-and-half cream
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan melt butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup over medium heat until smooth, stirring occasionally.
Pour mixture onto large, greased jelly roll pan (18x13x1″). Spread around to cover surface.
Place 12 slices of bread in a single layer to cover pan.
Mix together eggs, cream, salt, & vanilla. Spoon mixture over each piece of bread.
Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes.
Remove from pan and serve.
If not serving immediately, turn each slice of bread over (this will prevent bread from sticking to the bottom of the pan).
