Ingredients
Topping:
1 cup packed brown sugar
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/3 cup whipping (heavy) cream
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
(I added chopped pecans for a little somethin’ extra!)
French Toast:
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 (3/4-inch-thick) diagonal cut slices French bread
Directions:
1. Spray 13×9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In 2-quart saucepan, mix topping ingredients. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. DO NOT BOIL. Spread topping in baking dish.
2. In shallow bowl, beat eggs with fork. Beat in milk, vanilla and salt. Dip bread slices into egg mixture, making sure all egg mixture is absorbed; arrange over topping in dish. Cover; refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
3. When ready to bake, heat oven to 400°F. Uncover baking dish; bake 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly and toast is golden brown. Remove from oven; let stand 3 minutes.
4. Place large heatproof serving platter upside down over baking dish; turn platter and baking dish over. Remove baking dish, scraping any extra caramel topping onto toast. Serve immediately.
That looks so delicious! But most of all, I LOVE the new blog design! Great job!

Love the look here! I love french toast, and I love the look of these, yummy!
This is very similar to the Creme Brulee French Toast that my sisters and I make for family brunches often. It’s a huge hit with all the kids!! I always love when you can prepare it totally the night before!!

Oh my goodness, this looks delicious! I am going to try it for Christmas breakfast, I am always looking for something quick but special.
Yum! Sounds great. I think I’ll go out and get the ingredients for a Saturday breakfast!
Ohmygosh this looks so good! I’m totally bookmarking this one.
We had it this morning! Amazing! Hubby is not a sweets lover but he loves caramel. He said this for breakfast is one more good reason to be alive.lol Thanks so much.
BTW I also have five sisters! It can get quite interesting at times.
Does this have to sit overnite? Would love to make for dinner tomorrow but I don’t have the supplies. Thanks
I made this on Christmas Eve and we loved it! I also made it tonight for our Easter Breakfast. YUM!!! Thanks for sharing. My husband hates regular french toast, but loves this.
Great recipe and so easy to make! Thanks
Why would someone NOT like French Toast baked on top nuts-and-caramel candy? I mean, seriously….
This looks sinfully wonderful! I am sure I could become an addict. I am putting this on my list for this weekend at the cabin!
Sounds great. I think I’ll go out and get the ingredients for a breakfast! Overnight Desert safari Abu Dhabi
This was delicious! However, I was able to fit about 11 slices of french bread in my pan, and still had enough sauce/syrup. Thanks for a great recipe!
We just made this for Easter breakfast and i must say: as a terrible cook i did very good at this. We didnt do the nuts but it was just as good with some homemade whip cream on top. The only thing il do different next time is make it in a much biggger pan so i can fit more slices in it and serve it for brunch with guests over. SOOOO DELISH!
Very good! Made it in the morning for dinner in the evening. My kids love breakfast for dinner. And I love easy things I can throw into the oven for dinner. Only thing I would do differently is to actually cook the caramel a bit longer, perhaps boil it to make it a deeper caramel. But very good and a great way to use up bread! I crammed 12 pieces into my 9 X 13 as I was feeding 6.
