Trevino French Toast

Ingredients:

1 Round Crusty Ranch Style Bread
1 stick of butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 tbs corn syrup
5 eggs
1 1/2 cup half and half
1 tbsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

Cut bread into 1 inch slices and carefully remove the crust.

In a medium sauce pan melt butter, sugar and corn syrup until it makes a carmel (runny). Pour it into a greased 9X13 pan. Carefully arrange the bread in a single layer. You might have to break up the bread to make sure it all fits perfectly.

In a small pitcher combine the eggs, half and half, vanilla and salt. Wisk together and pour over top of bread to coat completely making sure all the bread has been drizzled with it.

Sprinkle with cinnamon over top. Cover and refrigerate over night.

Bring to room temperature, about 1 hour. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 35-40 minutes until slightly golden brown.

Note: This recipe originally calls for Grand Mange, but I used extra vanilla. I also just used egg beaters and it worked just fine. It would be so delicious with chopped nuts added to the carmel sauce before adding the bread. YUM!!! I served this with fresh berries, bacon and a smoothie.
