Ingredients

• ½ cup melted butter (1 stick)
• 1 cup brown sugar + 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 loaf Texas toast cut off the crusts, this is NOT necessary but I just think it looks nicer.
• 4 eggs
• 1½ cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar plus more for sprinkling
• honey or maple syrup for topping

Directions

• Put the butter in a microwave safe bowl, melt it in the microwave and add 1 cup of brown sugar. Stir until combined.
• Pour the mixture evenly over the bottom of 9 x 13 baking pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and vanilla.
• Place toast bread in a single layer in the pan so that it covers the whole area.
• Pour half the egg-milk mixture over the entire layer of toast bread.
• In a small bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons of brown sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
• Sprinkle half the mixture on a layer of toast bread.
• Then arrange the second layer of toast bread and pour the rest of the mixture of eggs and milk.
• Repeat with the rest of the sugar and cinnamon.
• Cover with aluminum foil and leave to cool in the fridge overnight.
• * You can leave it for a couple of hours in the refrigerator, but the best effect is achieved if you leave it overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Leave chilled toast bread at room temperature for a few minutes.
• Put it in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, so that the first 30 minutes it is baked with aluminum foil.
• Bake it until the top is crispy and golden brown and the inside is soft.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with honey or maple syrup.
