crème brûlée french toast
Every year my husband and I throw a big New Year's Day brunch. We wear our favorite pajamas and serve some Hair-of-the-Dog and lots to eat, including this crowd-pleaser. And the best part is it's assembled the night before and cooked just before the guest arrive.

How To Make crème brûlée french toast
-
Step 1In a small heavy saucepan melt butter with brown sugar and corn syrup over moderate heat, stirring, until smooth and pour into a 13- by 9- by 2-inch baking dish. Cut six 1-inch thick slices from center portion of bread, reserving ends for another use, and trim crusts. Arrange bread slices in one layer in baking dish, squeezing them slightly to fit.

-
Step 3Preheat oven to 350° F. and bring bread to room temperature.
-
Step 4Bake bread mixture, uncovered, in middle of oven until puffed and edges are pale golden, 35 to 40 minutes.
