Baked French Toast

Baked French Toast 1 loaf of French Bread 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup butter 2 tablespoons corn syrup (Molasses if you like a 'deeper' taste) 6 large eggs 2 cups milk (you can substitute 1/2 cup of the milk for heavy cream) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg Dash of cloves Vegetable oil spray a baking dish about 9" x l3" or so. Slice the bread to 3/4-inch thick. Cook the sugar, butter, and corn syrup in a pot until it is liquid and syrup-like. Pour this mixture into your prepared baking pan. Place the bread in a layer, one deep, over the syrup mixture. Beat together the eggs, milk (milk and cream), vanilla, and spices. Pour over bread. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Bake the next morning in a 325 degree oven for approximately 20-30 minutes or until hot through, browning on top, and bubbly. Serves 6-8. With the sugar/butter layer, you might not even need more syrup on it when served!
