BAKED FRENCH TOAST

A RECIPE THAT I FOUND ON PINTEREST. I MADE THIS FOR EASTER BRUNCH AND IT WAS SO GOOD THAT I KNEW IT HAD TO GO ON MY RECIPE BLOG. THIS IS A MUST TRY.
Ingredients:
1 loaf sourdough bread
8 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. vanilla
Topping:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 stick cold butter, cut into pieces
1. Grease a 9x13 pan with butter. Tear bread into bite-size chunks and place evenly in the pan.
2. Mix together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla. Pour evenly over bread. Cover tightly and store in the fridge for several hours (I put mine in overnight....it was about 12 hours).
3. In a medium bowl mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until it all looks nice and crumbly. Place in a ziploc bag and put in fridge.
4. When ready to bake, take pan and bag out of fridge. Remove wrap and evenly sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees (or 45 minutes if you like it more soft and pudding-like).
Notes:
Your can serve with syrup, applesauce or fruit, or make a quick glaze with powdered sugar and milk. If you don't have brown sugar, mix 1/2 Tbsp. molasses with 1/2 cup sugar untill well blended.
I also halved the recipe and put it in a 8x8 pan and it worked out great.
