Big thank-you to Natalie's friend Amy, whose Baked French Toast recipe is a family favorite. As I was trying to figure out what to have for Sunday dinner [again!], I decided we'd do breakfast, just for fun. So we had hash browns, sausages, fried ham, OJ, and the baked french toast that we love. We would have had scrambled eggs if I hadn't used them all up for the french toast -- but we certainly had plenty of food. It was so good -- love that recipe. It's more like dessert than anything, for sure.
Give it a try!
Baked French Toast [Amy Elmore]
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup butter
2 Tbsp. light corn syrup
1 loaf French bread cut into 1 inch thick slices
5 eggs
1 ½ cups milk
1 tsp. vanilla
Place first 3 ingredients in medium size saucepan and heat over medium heat. Spray 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick vegetable oil. Pour hot mixture into baking dish. Place sliced bread over mixture, pushing bread together closely to get more slices into dish.
Mix eggs, milk and vanilla and beat slightly. Pour over bread. Make sure each piece is covered.
Cover baking dish with saran wrap and refrigerate overnight.
In morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees and place uncovered dish in oven for 30 minutes. May be served directly from dish or turned over and served onto plates. Serves 8 - 10.

We LOVE that french toast! We call it "Creme Brulee French Toast" for an extra dose of fancy! I usually make it with challah bread. Haven't had it in a while, come to think of it... sounds like a perfect Easter morning breakfast!
That looks absolutely divine! Thanks for the recipe Jan and Amy!
