Here`s one that I got from Country Woman magazine in the spring of 1989. I have made it so many times for company and it is absolutely fail-proof and DELICIOUS!! * Or other thick-sliced bread. Combine eggs, milk, salt and vanilla; mix well. Dip bread slices into egg mixture; coat both sides with crumbs. Place on well-greased cookie sheet. Drizzle melted butter over crumb -coated bread. Bake at 450 for 10 minutes. To make syrup, combine sugar, water, corn syrup and cinnamon in saucepan. Bring to boil; cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat; add milk, flavoring and bacon, bacon or sausage as desired. Note: I always had to double this recipe after the first time as my family would not stop at 1 1/2 pcs. And they insisted that I make it when their friends came over. Beverly in NC FROM: BEVERLY REPKA Formatted by Elaine Radis -----
