Baked French Toast

Half a leftover baguette had me looking for an easy baked French toast recipe, and I found one. The brown sugar-butter mixture makes a chewy coating on the underside of the toasts, so you don't need any syrup. We get up so early with the baby that I was able to make this on a Sunday night and we had it for breakfast Monday morning.

Mixed 1/4 cup brown sugar with 1/4 cup butter in the bottom of baking dish, then topped it with 1-inch-thick slices of very stale baguette, then poured over it 3/4 cup milk mixed with 2 eggs, a pinch of salt and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Left it in the refrigerator overnight, then baked it for 45 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
