Cinnamon Bun French Toast

Spread the love

I LOVE BREAKFAST!!!

ONE OF MY FAVORITE BREAKFAST FOODS IS –
FRENCH TOAST!!!

But with a family, it isn’t always easy to make french toast in the morning when kids are clawing at your legs begging for something to eat. So the easy way out of that scenario, as if feeding small children will ever be easy, is to make it ahead of time.

This recipe comes together easily and you probably have most of the ingredients on hand already. And with the cinnamon gooey-ness that you put in the pan first, you don’t even need syrup!

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons CORN SYRUP
1/2 cup BUTTER
1/2 teaspoon CINNAMON
1 cup BROWN SUGAR
12 slices FRENCH BREAD
1/4 teaspoon SALT
6 EGGS
1 1/2 cups HALF & HALF
1 teaspoon VANILLA

Butter a 9×13 baking dish.

Combine corn syrup, butter, cinnamon and brown sugar. Simmer over low heat until syrupy, stirring constantly.

Pour syrup mixture into bottom of prepared pan.

Place 6 slices of bread on top.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, half & half, salt and vanilla. Pour half of this mixture over the bread in the pan.

Place remaining bread on top, then pour rest of egg mixture over the second layer of bread – making sure all bread is covered with egg mixture.

Cover pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or at least six hours.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

I saw this recipe on a wonderful food blog called Kittencal’s Kitchen.
