Penny's Baked French Toast

Penny's Baked French Toast

1/2 loaf french bread cubed
1 quart 1/2 and 1/2
6 eggs
1 pint whipping cream
1 tspn vanilla
3/4-1 1/2 c. sugar (depending on how sweet you want it)
1 cube butter

The night before melt the butter and toss with the cubed bread in a 9x13 pan refrigerate overnight. Mix other ingredients and pour over bread. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes until custardy and brown.

Caramel Topping

1 box brown sugar
2 cubes butter
1/2 c. cream

Stir over medium heat until soft boil pour over french toast.

Any recipe for caramel will work. You can also use store bought. I usually put mine warm on the side and let the guests pour their own. This is great for brunch or a baby shower.
