Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° (unless you’re making this ahead of time). Melt the butter in a saucepan or in the microwave. Add the brown sugar and stir until thoroughly blended. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 pan and spread evenly to coat the bottom. In a bowl, beat together the eggs, milk and VANILLA. Lay a single layer of Texas toast in the pan. Spoon half of the egg mixture over the bread. Sprinkle with sugar, CINNAMON and NUTMEG. Top with a second layer of Texas toast. Spoon the remaining egg mixture on the bread. Drizzle with a thin layer of butter. Sprinkle lightly with sugar and CINNAMON. At this point you can refrigerate the dish overnight or cook right away. Cover with foil. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-25 minutes. The top will be crusty and golden brown, and the bottom has an incredible sticky deliciousness!
