Decadent breakfast in North Florida

Decadent French Toast Casserole

Served at the Sweetwater Branch Inn Bed and Breakfast in Gainesville.

A favorite with the guests, it is “a tried and true” staple of breakfasts at the Inn, and true to its name, quite decadent.

In a saucepan, melt together:

1 stick butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon Karo syrup

Pour the mixture into a 9 x 12 Pyrex dish that has been greased with butter.

Lay French or Cuban bread slices 1 inch thick in dish.

Mix:

6 eggs

2 cups milk

Pour the mixture over the bread. Top with cinnamon. Soak overnight.

In the morning, bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Enjoy.
