I'm new at this so bare with me..French Toast Casserole

I'm one of those people who loves to experiment with her cooking. The problem with this is that when my family LOVES something I don't always remember where I found the recipe or what ingredients I used when making it so I thought this would be a great way to keep track of it all. So for my first recipe:
French Toast Casserole

1 (1 pound) loaf French bread, cut diagonally in 1 inch slices


8 eggs

2 cups milk

1 1/2 cups half-and-half cream

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3/4 cup butter

1 1/3 cups brown sugar

3 tablespoons light corn syrup

Directions

1.Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange the slices of bread in the bottom. In a large bowl,

beat together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour over bread slices, cover, and refrigerate overnight.

2.The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small saucepan, combine butter,

brown sugar and corn syrup; heat until bubbling. Pour over bread and egg mixture.

3.Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes.
 
This was a big hit, especially with my husband :) And it would have probably been even better with French Bread but I used Wheat because that's what I had in the house.
