Oven Baked Caramel French Toast

Try this one as a special breakfast or brunch item!
A little bit of planning ahead is required for this one, but it is worth it.

Caramel Sauce:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 tbsp light corn syrup (or honey or maple syrup)

French toast:
4-6 thick slices of French or Italian bread
3 eggs
3/4 cup milk or cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 to 1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 to 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
pinch of salt

Heat caramel sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat until bubbling, pour into the bottom of a greased 8' x11' baking dish.
Place slices of bread over top of the sauce, crowding if necessary.

Combine the French toast ingredients (eggs, milk, vanilla, spices) with a blender or electric mixture until well combined.
Pour over bread in pan.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours or overnight.

Remove from fridge 30 minutes before baking and let stand at room temperature.
Bake at 350 F for 40-45 minutes or until puffy and light golden brown.
The bread will firm up in the center, but will still appear moist (but not soggy moist)
Invert slices of the toast onto a plate, caramel side up.

when doubling the recipe, do you still use a 8x11 pan?

@ticatacatic If you double the recipe, use two 8x11 pans.

@Sassy10151 It is done w/in an hour in the morning. You just had to do some prep work the night before. That's why she said it is more of a special breakfast
