Make this the night before and enjoy brunch with your kids rather than catering to them! Also great for taking places because the syrup is built-in.

Yield::4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
2 tablespoons corn syrup
½ cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 (1 pound) loaf French bread, sliced
5 eggs
1 ½ cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
Combine the corn syrup , butter, and brown sugar in a small saucepan and simmer until the sugar has melted. Pour this mixture over the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch casserole dish.
Place the bread slices over the sugar-butter mixture in the dish. In a bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and salt; pour this mixture over the bread. Cover the dish and let it stand in the refrigerator overnight.
The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Uncover the pan and bake for 45 minutes. Serve while hot or warm or the French toast will harden in the pan. It can be reheated.
