Overnight French Toast

Overnight french toast is always on my brunch menu when I am hosting guests, what could be easier when you are entertaining? This is a basic recipe that is easy to dress up with your favorite fruit, nuts or even chocolate chips!

1 cup dark brown sugar

1/2 cup butter

2 tablespoons corn syrup

12 Slices of white bread (crusts trimmed)

1 1/2 cup whole milk

6 Large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine corn syrup, butter and brown sugar in a saucepan and simmer gently until the sugar melts. Pour this mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x12 inch casserole dish. Place the bread slices over the sugar mixture. In a separate bowl beat together eggs, milk, vanilla and salt. Pour egg mixture over bread. Cover the dish and let stand overnight in refrigerator. The following morning, preheat over to 350F. Uncover the casserole dish and bake for approximately 45 minutes.
