Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

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.
