I love French toast. It is by far my favorite breakfast food of all time so when I came across this recipe for Crème Brûlée French toast, I knew I had to try it. After having the recipe for months, I finally made it last week. It was so delicious [and easy] that I just had to share the recipe with you.

Crème Brûlée French ToastIngredients
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 tbsp. corn syrup
1 loaf French bread, sliced
5 eggs
1 1/2 cups half and half (I used the fat free kind and it was fine)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
Melt butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup together until blended. Pour in the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish, making sure the bottom is covered.
Arrange the bread slices in the pan over the syrup.
Whisk together the eggs, half and half, vanilla, and salt. Pour over the top.
Cover with plastic wrap, pressing down to make sure the bread soaks up all the cream mixture. Refrigerate for 8-24 hours.
Bring to room temperature and bake at 350 for 40 minutes.
Serves 4-5.
The lady whose blog I got this recipe from suggested serving this with powdered sugar and raspberry sauce on top. She also suggested serving this with bacon to contrast the sweetness of the French toast. I think both ideas are brilliant and I will be doing both the next time I make this. YUM!
