Instructions
1. Make the Caramel Base:
In a small pot, melt together the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup, stirring until it’s smooth and gooey. Pour this delicious mixture into a large jelly roll pan and spread it out evenly.
2. Add the Bread:
Arrange slices of bread over the caramel mixture, making sure the entire pan is covered.
3. Prepare the Custard:
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, half & half, salt, and vanilla until well combined. Spoon this mixture evenly over the bread slices.
4. Let It Soak:
Cover the pan and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 3-4 hours) to let all that custardy goodness soak into the bread.
5. Bake to Perfection:
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the dish, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, until it’s golden brown and bubbling.
6. Flip and Serve:
Carefully flip each piece over to reveal the gooey caramel side. Serve warm with your favorite toppings – fresh fruit, maple syrup, or whatever you love. Enjoy every sweet bite!
This French toast is the perfect make-ahead breakfast treat! It’s buttery, sweet, and oh-so-decadent – guaranteed to start your morning off right!
