Overnight Creme Brulee French Toast

Overnight-Creme-Brulee-French-Toast

Let me start by saying, “YOU- MUST- MAKE- THIS -RECIPE!” This Overnight Creme Brulee French Toast with its custardy bread slices and rich caramel topping resemble the creamy decadent texture and flavor of creme brulee.

There are several french toast recipes out there and I havn’t particularly liked very many of them- but this recipe changed my perspective on baked french toast. I love the rich sugary caramel bottom that when flipped out of the pan after baking pours over the custardy french toast- finding its way into every crevice.

If you didn’t take the time to make this recipe the night before, it still turns out fine if you bake right away. Another reason I love this french toast is because the caramel sauce acts as your syrup.

Ingredients
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 c. packed brown sugar
  • 2 T. corn syrup
  • 6 slices bread (you can use either sandwich bread or thicker french bread)
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 1/2 c. half and half (or milk if that’s all you have)
  • 1 t. vanilla
  • 1 t. orange liqueur such as Grand Marnier, optional
  • 1/4 t. salt
Instructions:
  1. Make caramel sauce by melting butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Mix in brown sugar and corn syrup, stirring until sugar is dissolved about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Pour into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  4. Next, arrange your bread over the caramel mixture. Ripping bread to fit into every crevice.
  5. In a small bowl whisk your eggs, half and half, vanilla, orange liqueur, and salt.
  6. Pour over bread.
  7. Cover and chill overnight (I made this the morning of bake day and it also turned out fine if you didn’t make night before)
  8. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until puffy and lightly browned.
  9. Run a knife along the edge of pan to loosen french toast from the sides of pan.
  10. Place a sheet pan on top of 9 x 13 and flip out onto the sheet pan so that that yummy caramel sauce runs deep into and all over the french toast.
  11. YUMMY!!!!! Enjoy!
