Baked French toast

I recommend this (modified) recipe. Original recipe: http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/baked-french-toast-2/Detail.aspx
I strongly recommend cutting the topping amount of the original as I did below. I think the below hits the "right" level of sweetness (it's still sweet but that is what I would expect - it needs no maple syrup though...) I also don't like mine soggy so cutting down the milk/cream combo works for me... (mine is less like bread-pudding and more like french toast )

This is an awesome make-ahead dish for brunch or breakfast! It's being added to my New Year morning menu! :-)

Baked French Toast (prep 15mins. Cook: 40 mins. Ready 15hrs)

Ingredients
* 1 (1 pound) loaf French bread, cut diagonally in 1 inch slices - or two slices stacked of wheat or white bread - usually 14-16 slices
* 8-10 eggs
* 2 cups milk (can make this up to a 50%-50% mix with half and half)
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 cup butter
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1 tablespoons light corn syrup

Directions
1. Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. Arrange the slices of bread in the bottom.
3. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla and cinnamon.
4. Pour over bread slices, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
5. The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
6. In a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar and corn syrup; heat until bubbling. Pour over bread and egg mixture.
7. Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes.

IMHO this makes 8 servings with ~ 2 slices bread and 1 egg equivalent each person.
~ 370 calories/serving. (assuming 80 calorie bread, 2% milk, and cinnamon and vanilla add "negligable" calories per serving)
