Creme Brulee French Toast

1/2 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 TBSP corn syrup
1 loaf Texas toast bread
5 eggs
1 1/2 cups half & half
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

In a small sauce pan, melt butter, brown sugar and corn syrup over medium heat until smooth - stirring occasionally. Pour mixture onto a lare greased jelly roll pan (18x13x1). Spread to cover surface. Place 12 slices of Texas toast bread in a single layer to cover pan. Mix together eggs, half & half, salt and vanilla. Spoon mixture over each piece of bread. Bake uncovered at 350* for 30 minutes. Remove from pan and serve with syrup butter.

*D: This is such a delicious, SWEET treat of a breakfast! It takes a little preparation, but it's so worth it.

The "jelly roll pan" is just a cookie sheet.

We used Texas toast, but we didn't get 12 pieces to fit. Just squish in what you can. Any sides that touch will stick together. It's no big deal because you can just cut them apart with a spatula.

When the toast is done, I flip it over so the sugary side is on top and custardy side is on the bottom. My husband didn't like that the two sides were different at first, but then I explained that's why it's called creme brulee. There is custard on the bottom and a burnt sugar layer on top.

Really, this is decadent and divine. So worth trying at least once. Pin It

Syrup Butter for Creme Brulee French Toast

1 1/2 cups butter
3 cups maple syrup

Melt together and serve over toast.

*D: 3 cups maple syrup?! Maybe if you're feeding an army. We only used a half a cup of butter and 1 cup of maple syrup and we had tons of leftovers. Pin It
