Category: French Toast

12 slices French or Italian bread (cut 1-inch thick)
8 eggs
2 cup light cream or milk (can use 1 cup each milk and light cream)
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon (can use more)
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/3 cups brown sugar, packed

Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Place the bread slices into the bottom of the prepared baking pan slicing edges if needed to fit into the pan.

In a large bowl beat the eggs with light cream, vanilla and cinnamon; pour evenly over the bread slices. Cover and refrigerate overnight (removing 30 minutes from refrigerator before baking).

Preheat oven to 350.

Meanwhile in a mixing bowl cream the butter with brown sugar and corn syrup until smooth; spread over the top of the bread. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake uncovered for about 1 hour or until golden brown.
