Creme Brulee Texas Toast

Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray. In a saucepan, combine corn syrup, butter & brown sugar. Simmer until mixture reaches a syrupy consistency, then pour into the baking dish.

Cut bread in half diagonally and lay slices on top. You may use more slices to fill completely.

Whisk eggs, half & half, vanilla, orange liqueur and salt together. Pour over bread. Here I spreaded the strawberries over top of bread and sprinkled with the cinnamon & sugar mixture. You could wait and do this after its cooked instead. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours but overnight is best. You want all the egg cream mixture to be soaked up by the bread so use your own judgement here.

When you are ready to cook, preheat oven to 350°F. Bake 45 minutes.

Note: You can use a variety of types of bread. Slices of French bread or focaccia will work well also.
