By draingal

Ingredients

• 1 loaf French bread, sliced
• 8 eggs, beaten
• 1 pt. half and half
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, divided
• 1 tsp. nutmeg, divided
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 tbsp. light corn syrup

Preparation

Step 1

Place bread slices into a greased 13x9 baking pan; overlap if necessary. Whisk together eggs, half and half, milk, vanilla, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and 1/4 tsp. nutmeg. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat for one minute. Pour mixture over bread slices and between any overlapping slices. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight. The next day, prepare topping by blending butter and brown sugar with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in corn syrup and remaining cinnamon and nutmeg. Spread mixture evenly over bread. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes, until bread puffs and becomes golden.
