Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Corn syrup
- 1 loaf French bread, sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 6 large Eggs
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Once melted, stir in the brown sugar and corn syrup until smooth and well combined. This will create a caramel-like sauce.
Pour the caramel sauce into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Layer the sliced French bread over the caramel sauce, arranging the pieces to fit snugly and cover the entire dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the bread slices, ensuring all the bread is soaked evenly.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight, allowing the bread to absorb the custard.
The next morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Remove the plastic wrap or foil and place the baking dish on the middle rack of the preheated oven.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Allow the dish to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
To serve, cut individual portions and invert them onto plates so the caramel sauce is on top. Enjoy this luxuriously rich breakfast treat!
