Creme Brulee French Toast

I got this recipe from a friend in the ward. It is sooo delicious. You can just top it with powdered sugar or the syrup butter.

French toast:
1/2 c. butter
1 c. packed brown sugar
2 T. corn syrup
1 loaf texas toast bread (extra thick slices)
5 eggs
1 1/2 c. half and half cream
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla

1. In a small saucepan melt butter brown sugar and corn syrup over med. heat until smooth stirring occassionally. Pour mixture into a large greased jelly roll pan (18x3x1). Spread to cover suface.

2. Place 12 slices of texas toast bread in a single layer to cover bottom of pan. Mix together eggs, cream, salt and vanilla. Spoon mixture over each piece of bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

3. Bake uncovered in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from pan and serve. (if not serving immediately, turn each slice of bread over to prevent from sticking to pan)

Syrup Butter:
1 1/2 c. butter
3 c. maple syrup

1. Warm syrup and warm butter.
2. Mix together and serve.
