Ingredients: 

Ingredient Checklist for a 9x13 tray

1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick)
11/2 cup brown sugar
1 loaf Texas toast (optional -cut edges)
6 eggs
1 3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tsp Cinnamon powder
Powdered sugar for sprinkling
Optional Maple syrup


1. Melt butter in microwave & add brown sugar....stir till mixed.
2. Pour butter/sugar mix into bottom of 9 x 13 pan....spread around
3. Beat eggs, milk, & vanilla
4. Lay single layer of Texas Toast in pan
5. Spoon 1/2 of egg mixture on bread layer
5a. Sprinkle 1 tsp powder cinnamon on bread layer
6. Add 2nd layer of Texas Toast
7. Spoon on remaining egg mixture
8. Cover & chill in fridge overnight
9. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes (covered for the first 30 minutes)
10. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and 1 tsp powdered cinnamon
11. Serve with warm maple syrup (I don't do the syrup part)

- Crack eggs & get them started (on low)
- Melt butter in microwave
- Add brown sugar & stir together
- Pour mixture into 9 x 13 pan
- Spread evenly to cover bottom of pan
- Add milk & vanilla to egg mixture
- optional - *Add 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar to egg mixture* this is to make dish sweeter so no need of syrup later on.
- Spread even layer of Texas Toast on butter/sugar layer
- after you have 1 even layer, ladle on half of egg mixture
- *Sprinkle brown sugar & cinnamon before next layer*
- Spread second layer of Texas Toast
- Ladle second half of egg mixture
- optional - *Spread thin layer of butter*
- *Sprinkle lightly with white sugar & cinnamon*
(I think the butter & sugar help give the final product a crusty top.)
Refrigerate overnight

- Bake at 350 for 45 minutes
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar
- Top should be crusty, middle should be soft & moist, & bottom is just glorious!

- The recipe calls for eating it with warm maple syrup. I did not do this....it would be way too sweet....instead, I added the Tablespoon of powdered sugar in the egg mixture.
- I personally feel that eating it upside down is the way to go.....that way you don't waste any of the sticky bits of heaven on the plate
