Creme Brulee French Toast
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
6 slices french bread, 1 inch thick
5 eggs
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
Step one:
In a saucepan melt butter. Add brown sugar and corn syrup. Mix until brown sugar is desolved. Pour this mixture into the bottom of a baking pan. Arrange 6 slices of 1-inch thick French bread over the caramel base.
Step two:
To make the custard, whisk eggs, half-and-half, vanilla, and salt. Pour this over the bread.
Step three:
Cover and refrigerate overnight (to let the custard really soak in). When ready, bake at a high heat for 35–40 minutes at 350 oF.
Serve:
I like to serve this with some fuit and of course, maple syrup.
*I made this for a Christmas morning breakfast, I also made a gingerbread syrup for coffee that is so good. See the recipe here.
