How to Make Amazing Overnight French Toast

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour the mixture into a greased 13x9 inch baking pan and set aside.
  3. Cut or tear 1 loaf (about 1 pound) of challah bread, brioche, or Texas toast into 1-inch pieces. Arrange the bread evenly in the prepared baking pan.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 cups whole milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all pieces are moistened.
  5. Cover the baking pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Uncover the casserole and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until golden brown and set, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with powdered sugar, maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream!
