best EVER french toast

This recipe came from Leah Cleveland. The 1st time she gave it to me I thought "nasty"! I thought it sounded so gross I didn't even keep it. The reason I found it so unappetizing was because when I read "texas toast" all I could think of was the texas toast garlic bread. Well ladies, don't be deceived as I was...texas toast is just thicker cut bread! Mom, how come you never taught me that? :) Anyway, this is what Leah brought to our girlfriend brunch, and yeah, it was AMAZING!
Also, as Leah pointed out, this is a huge time saver because you don't need to fry them 2 or 3 at a time but you can do the whole loaf and the whole family can eat at the same time.

TEXAS TOAST

1 loaf texas toast (thick slices)

1 c milk
3 eggs beaten

1/2 c butter
2/3 c brown sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

***NOTE***if you can fit 12 slices of bread on your cookie sheet you will run a little short on egg mixture. Add 1 more egg and 1/3 more cup of milk.

Melt butter & pour over a 10x15x1" pan.
Combine brown sugar & cinnamon & sprinkle over pan.
Combine milk & eggs.
Soak bread in egg mixture & lay on top of sugar/butter mix in pan.
Cover entire pan with soaked bread.

Bake @ 350 for 25 min.
(May cover w/ foil, store in fridge & bake in the morning.)

If you have left-overs, they are good in your lunch the next day. Just warm up in the microwave, pour a little maple syrup on them and enjoy!
