Creme Brulee French Toast

We don't have very many Easter traditions for our little family, but this one will be newly inducted. Momma and Daddy passed along this delicious must tray and VERY easy recipe:

*Note: this recipe is best when kept overnight and cooked off the next day

What You'll Need:
1 Stick Butter
1 Cup Light Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Light Corn Syrup
5 Large Eggs
1 1/2 Cups Half and Half
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1/4 Cup Grand Marnier
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
French Bread, Cup into 1 Inch Slices

In a small sauce pan combine and melt down butter, brown sugar & corn syrup {on medium heat}. Once melted, pour on the bottom of a 13x10 baking dish.

Next, cut 1 inch slices of French bread, trim crusts and layer in baking dish. I use enough to cover the bottom of the baking dish {approx 8-10 pieces}.

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, vanilla, Grand Marnier and salt.

Pour mixture evenly on top of bread in baking dish.

Let sit for at least 8 hours or overnight in refrigerator.

 Pull out baking dish from refrigerator and let get room temperature before baking. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes.

Yes, it was that easy. & OMG. Enjoy. It's like dessert!
