BAKED FRENCH TOAST!
Sorry, no photo! It is delicious though.
6 slices Texas Toast
8 eggs
1 cup milk
2 1/2 cups half-n-half cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup butter
1 1/3 cup brown sugar
3 Tab. corn syrup
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange the slices of bread in the bottom. In a medium bowl, beat together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour over bread slices, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
The next morning, set out while oven is preheating to 35o degrees. Bake covered for 20 minutes. While baking, combine butter, brown sugar and corn syrup in a small saucepan, and heat until bubbling. Pour over bread and egg mixture and continue baking another 20 minutes uncovered.
Sprinkle with chopped pecans and serve.
Note: Next time I will use 12 slices of bread and make stacks of two just to make it thicker. I will also twice the cinnamon.

Maybe I'll invite some sisters over sometime to try this out.
