5 eggs
1 1/2 C half and half cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla


In a small saucepan, melt butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup over medium heat until smooth, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture onto large, greased 18x13x1 pan. Spread to cover surface.

Mix together eggs, cream, salt, and vanilla. Spoon mixture over each piece of bread.
