Baked French Toast

My friend was telling me about THIS recipe so I decided to try it the morning after Christmas. It was sweet and rich so you couldn't eat much but it was so good.
12-14 slices of soft white bread
4 oz whipped cream cheese
1 stick butter, sliced
1/4 C syrup
1 C brown sugar
1/2 C sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
6 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 C milk

Pre heat oven to 400 degrees. In a large casserole pan add sliced butter, syrup, brown sugar. Place in oven, melt together for 5-7 minutes until caramelized, stirring once. Spread cream cheese on half of the bread slices, place additional slice on top sandwich style. Set aside. In small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside. In a mixing bowl scramble eggs, add milk, add vanilla. When butter mixture is caramelized, remove from oven, put sandwiches in pan, sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Pour egg mixture over sandwiches, cover, refrigerate over night. In the morning preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 45 minutes. Serve caramel side up. Top with Berries, syrup, and sour cream. We had whipped cream on top and that was good.

Butter Syrup Recipe
Ingredients

Directions
Combine buttermilk, sugar, butter, corn syrup, and baking soda in a large pot. I stir until the butter is melted then I add the baking soda.

Bring ingredients to a boil and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring very frequently, for 8-9 minutes.

When it's done, it should be golden brown. Remove from heat and add vanilla.
