The Veranda Inn

Eureka Springs, Arkansas

Specialty Recipe

Crème Caramel French Toast

Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons corn syrup

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup butter

1 pound cinnamon raisin bread

6 eggs

3 cups light cream (half and half)

1 Tablespoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

Pecans (optional)

In a saucepan, combine the corn syrup, brown sugar, and butter. Melt until smooth and bubbly. Spread in the bottom of a greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Add pecans on syrup mixture if desired. Layer the bread over the syrup. Combine the eggs, cream, vanilla, and salt. Pour the mixture over the bread and refrigerate overnight.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake covered for 45 minutes, then uncovered for 15 minutes more. Cut into pieces and invert to serve.

Note: Sometimes I cut the bread into cubes and add some cream cheese to the egg mixture.
