Caramel soaked french toast

Is your mouth watering yet?

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
10 slices french bread
4 large eggs
2 1/2 cups milk or half and half
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup butter melted

Combine first 3 ingredients in a medium saucepan. cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 5 minutes or until mixture is bubbly pour syrup mixture evenly into a lightly greased baking dish 13x9 size. Then place bread slices on top of caramel sauce.

Combine eggs and next 3 ingredients; stir well. Gradually pour mixture over bread slices. Cover and chill at least 8 hours (could be less that sounds like a long time to me).

Combine 3 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon; stir well. Sprinkle evenly over soaked bread. Drizzle 1/4 cup melted butter over bread. Bake uncovered at 350 for 45-50 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Serve immediately. Serves 10.

Note: If you don't have french bread this will work with sliced regular bread (wheat, white) you need a total of twelve slices stacked like your going to make six sandwiches.
