Soak the Cornbread
Cut the cornbread into thick slices and place them in a baking dish. Pour the custard mixture over the cornbread, ensuring all pieces are well soaked. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Bake the French Toast
Remove the soaked cornbread from the refrigerator. Melt the butter and pour it into a baking dish. Arrange the soaked cornbread slices in the dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and set.

Prepare the Crème Brûlée Topping
Once baked, remove the French toast from the oven. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the top of each slice. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden layer. If you don’t have a torch, you can broil them in the oven for a few minutes, but watch closely to avoid burning.
