French Bread Strata With Strawberries

A breakfast strata that you make the night before. It is so good! First you start with brown sugar, butter and syrup in the bottom of the baking dish. I love the fact you can make it before hand and have it ready for the next day, especially if you have company.

Or just want to do something special for the family. It is a good dish for a brunch also as all the work is done the night before and you can throw it in the oven bake and go!

Ingredients

• 2 cups packed brown sugar
• 2 sticks (1 cup) butter
• 1/4 cup white corn syrup
• 8-10 slices French bread
• 6 eggs, beaten
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• Dash salt
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• Cinnamon
• Fresh berries

Directions

Combine brown sugar, butter and corn syrup in medium saucepan. Heat until melted and bring to a boil.

Pour syrup in a glass 9x13 inch baking dish. Place bread slices in syrup.

Combine eggs, milk, salt and vanilla. Whisk to blend and then pour over bread. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Cover with foil and put in fridge overnight.

Bake at 350 degrees F. uncovered, until golden brown and bubbly (about 40 minutes). Serve topped with fresh berries. Enjoy! Darlene
