French Toast Kinda

So I tried to do a recipe I found on FB, for french toast casserole.  And it was, um. Interesting.  Yeah that's a good word for it.  I might have packed the slices too tight, used too much egg mix or something because it turned out like bread pudding with french toast sticks on top (the crusts of the french bread).

And my silly tail didn't take a final pic.

But here is the sauce for the bottom.

All ready for the fridge over night.

And this is the morning I cooked it.  It tasted awesome and sorry for no final pics but.  Yeah.

 Bread Pudding with French Toast Sticks on Top:

French Toast Casserole
1 c. brown sugar, packed
1/2 c. butter
2 c. corn syrup
1 loaf French bread, sliced
5 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 c. milk
1 t. vanilla extract
Garnish: powdered sugar, maple syrup
(We added 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans to our recipe)

Melt together brown sugar, butter and corn syrup in a saucepan over low heat; pour into a greased 13" x 9" baking pan. Arrange bread slices over mixture and set aside. Whisk together eggs, milk and vanilla; pour over bread, coating all slices. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Uncover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until lightly golden. Sprinkle with powered sugar; serve with warm syrup. Makes 6-8 servings
