Creme Brulee French Toast

1/2 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 loaf Texas toast bread (I've used other kinds, just don't do Wonder, fluffy stuff)
5 eggs
1 1/2 cups half and half (or mixture of milk and whipping cream)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

In a small saucepan melt butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup over medium heat until smooth, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture onto large, greased jelly roll pan (18x13). Spread to cover surface. Place 12 slices Texas toast bread in a single layer to cover pan. Mix together eggs, cream, salt, and vanilla. Spoon mixture over each piece of bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake uncovered 30 min at 350 degrees. Remove from pan and serve. If not serving immediately, turn each slice of bread over (this will prevent bread from sticking to the bottom of the pan). You can serve with syrup butter but I just use a small amount of plain syrup since the bread is super sticky, moist, and rich anyway.

Syrup Butter

1 1/2 cups butter
3 cups maple syrup
