Creme Brulee French Toast

Wow, this is an amazing breakfast recipe!  It's so much better than your normal french toast...you don't even need syrup!  Put it together the night before and let it sit in the fridge.  It is great to have ready for company!

Creme Brulee French Toast

1/2 cup butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tbsp corn syrup
1 loaf French bread (cut into thick slices)
5 eggs
1 1/2 cups half and half
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
powdered sugar
In a small pot, place butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup.  Mix over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth.  Pour mixture into a large, greased 9x13 pan (spread to cover bottom of pan).  Place 12-14 slices of French bread in a single layer over mixture.  Whisk together eggs, cream, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon in large bowl.  Pour mixture over French bread, being sure to cover each piece.  Cover and refrigerate overnight.  Bake uncovered at 350 for 25-30 minutes.  Serve immediately by flipping a slice over onto a plate to reveal the creme brulee coating.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
