Ingredients

• 1 loaf French bread
• 6 eggs
• 3/4 cup milk
• 3/4 cup half-and-half cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons bourbon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3/4 cup salted butter
• 1 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons light corn syrup

Preparation

Step 1

Butter a 9 × 13 inch baking dish. Cut French bread diagonally in 1 inch slices, arrange the slices of bread in the bottom.

In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, bourbon and cinnamon. Pour over bread slices, cover and refrigerate overnight. Make sure that the slices are covered with the liquid mixture. I usually pour it with a measuring cup so I can slowly pour it over the bread to make sure I cover every slice.

The next morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar and corn syrup; heat until bubbling. Pour over bread and egg mixture. Again, I use a measuring cup to pour it so that I can make sure all the slices are covered.

Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes.
