Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. 2 Combine 1/2 cup whole milk, brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a saucepan over medium heat; cook, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and syrup is smooth, about 5 minutes. Pour syrup into the prepared baking dish.
  3. 3 Arrange bread slices over syrup.
  4. 4 Whisk remaining 2 1/2 cups milk, eggs, vanilla, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl; pour over bread. Cover baking dish with plastic wrap; refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
  5. 5 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove casserole from refrigerator; uncover.
  6. 6 Combine white sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle over casserole. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil; continue baking until casserole is cooked through and eggs are set, 25 to 30 minutes. The casserole will be syrupy and should thicken as it cools.
