CREME BRULEE FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Combine eggs, milk, 1 cup sugar, salt, 1 tsp cinnamon, vanilla, orange juice, and 2 T melted butter in a large bowl. Whisk together until well incorporated. Use remaining butter to heavily butter a 9x13 baking pan. Slice bread into 1/2" thick slices and then cut slices into cubes. Combine remaining cinnamon and 1 T sugar. Add bread cubes to pan and toss with cinnamon sugar mixture. Pour custard mixture over bread cubes, pressing cubes down with a spoon to thoroughly soak bread. Cover with foil and refrigerate at least one hour or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Bake approximately 40-50 minutes until golden brown and set. Remove from the oven and sprinkle remaining 3-4 T of sugar over the top of the casserole in an even, heavy layer. Set broiler on high and return to oven or use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar. The sugar will turn brown and liquefy and then harden as it cools. Serve warm with maple syrup if desired.

EASY FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE CRèME BRULEE STYLE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan cook the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until smooth and tawny. Pour the mixture in an even layer into a 12"x 8" baking dish. (You can use a slightly larger baking dish but adjust the cooking time.)
• Tear up bread into ragged chunks or cut into cubes about 1" in size (I cut). Add all the bread on top of sugar mixture and press lightly so the bread compresses a bit. Don't squish more than about 1/4 of the air out.
• In a medium bowl or giant measuring cup with a spout whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, and salt until combined well and pour evenly over the bread. Cover the casserole with cling wrap and refrigerate a few hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 F and bring bread to room temperature.
• Bake casserole, uncovered, in middle of oven until puffed and edges are pale golden, 35 to 40 minutes. The simplest method to check for doneness is with a digital thermometer. The casserole is ready when the internal temperature is 160.
• Serve hot French toast immediately with fresh strawberries, butter, favorite syrup or whipped cream. It looks prettiest when pieces are served upside down.

• Slice the bread into 1 inch slices. Arrange the slices in the casserole dish in a single layer over the brown sugar mixture, as many slices as you can fit. Depending on the size of the loaf you use, you may have leftover slices. Pour the custard mixture over the top of the bread slices. Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
• In the morning: When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until lightly golden. Carefully remove the casserole dish from the oven, and flip each individual slice over with a spatula. Turn the oven onto broil, and broil on high until the sugar begins to brown and caramelize, about 2 minutes. Watch very carefully so that it doesn't burn!
