(Two 9 x 13 pans)    Texas Toast is double thickness bread

Ingredient Checklist

2 cup brown sugar
1 C. melted butter
2 loaf Texas toast
8 eggs
3 cup milk
2 teaspoon vanilla
powdered sugar for sprinkling and adding to egg mixture
                        
            
   Directions                 
                    
  • Melt butter in microwave
  • Add brown sugar & stir together
  •  Pour mixture into two 9 x 13 pans
  • Spread evenly to cover bottom of pan
  • Beat eggs on low
  • Add milk & vanilla to egg mixture
  • Add 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar to egg mixture
  • Spread even layer of Texas Toast on butter/sugar layer
  • *I cut off the crusts...this is optional
  • After you have 1 even layer, ladle on 1/2 of egg mixture
  • Sprinkle brown sugar & cinnamon before next layer
  • Spread second layer of Texas Toast
  • Ladle second half of egg mixture
  • Spread thin layer of butter
  • Sprinkle lightly with white sugar & cinnamon

The 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!


**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. Layering pan first with parchment paper will help in removing from pan.
