- ½ cup melted butter 1 stick
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 entire loaf 1 lb, 12 oz Texas Toast fresh sliced bread (Not frozen. Don’t use other breads.)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ½ cup whole milk
- 1 TB vanilla extract
- 2 TB light brown sugar mixed with 2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
- Put butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 20 second increments, stirring in between, until melted. Add 1 cup brown sugar and stir until well incorporated Pour into bottom of a greased 9×13 pan, spreading mixture evenly.
- Beat eggs, milk, and vanilla until incorporated. Set aside.
- Lay a single layer of Texas Toast in pan, cutting pieces to fit if needed. Spoon 1 cup of egg mixture evenly over bread. Sprinkle with half of the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture. Repeat with second layer, using up the rest of egg mixture over that layer, and ending with a sprinkling of brown sugar/cinnamon mixture. Try to get the custard evenly soaked into the bread slices.
