Caramel French Toast Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light-colored corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • Cooking spray
  • 10 1-oz slices French bread (I used fresh French Bread. I cut it and froze it so it wouldn't go stale or go bad.)
  • 2 1/2 cups 1% low-fat milk I used 2%
  • 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon- Instead of using separate sugar and cinnamon I used the pre-made store bought mix.

Instructions

  1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat 5 minutes or until mixture is bubbly, stirring constantly. Pour mixture evenly into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
  2. Arrange bread slices in a single layer over syrup in dish.
  3. Combine milk and next 4 ingredients (through eggs) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Pour egg mixture over bread slices. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°.
  5. Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over bread.
  6. Bake at 350° for 50 minutes or until golden. (Took me 15 minutes longer because egg mixture wasn't set.) Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
