Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 1.5 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 1 loaf French bread, sliced 1 inch thick
• 6 eggs
• 2.5 cups milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and corn syrup, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves and a smooth caramel forms. Pour the caramel mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Arrange the slices of French bread over the caramel layer, slightly overlapping them to cover the entire dish.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring all the bread is soaked. Gently press the bread with the back of a spoon to help it absorb the liquid.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

The next morning, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the dish from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Step 8

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the French toast is puffed and golden brown.

Step 9

Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Use a spatula to lift and flip the servings onto plates, topping each portion with the caramel sauce from the bottom of the dish.

Step 10

Optional: Serve with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of warm maple syrup for added indulgence.
