Overnight French Toast

RECIPE (one 9×13 pan)

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick)
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 loaf Texas Toast 5 large eggs
1 3/4 cup whole milk
1 TB vanilla extract
2 TB light brown sugar, mixed with 2 tsp cinnamon
Powdered sugar for sprinkling
Real maple syrup for serving, if desired buttermilk syrup, if desired Fresh fruit

DIRECTIONS 
Put butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 20 second increments, stirring in between, until melted. Add 1 cup brown sugar and stir until well incorporated Pour into bottom of a greased 9×13 pan, spreading mixture evenly. Beat eggs, milk, and vanilla until incorporated. Set aside. Lay a single layer of Texas Toast in pan, cutting pieces to fit if needed. Spoon 1 cup of egg mixture over bread. Sprinkle with half of the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture. Repeat with second layer, ending with a sprinkling of brown sugar/cinnamon mixture. Cover tightly and chill overnight in fridge. Bake at 350F for 40-45 minutes, covered for the first 30 minutes, and uncovered after that. Flip pan onto a jelly roll sheet. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if you want. Serve with pure maple syrup. Our favorite way to serve it is with buttermilk syrup with fresh fruit; bananas, rasberries, strawberries...etc
