Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease 9x12" cake pan. Cut baguette into 1/4"
slices and brush with melted butter. Broil for a few seconds and set
aside. Melt 1 cup chocolate morsels in top of double broiler and set
aside. Heat cream and milk until warm. Do not scald.

Beat whole eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla together. Slowly pour
warm cream and milk over egg mixture and blend. Pour mixture into
chocolate and whisk until no lumps of sugar remain.

Line bread slices, buttered side up, in pan until pan is full. Pour
chocolate mixture into pan and let rest for 40 minutes or until all
bread is soaked.

Bake in water bath for 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted in
center comes out clean and let cool overnight.

Chocolate Sauce:

Melt chocolate in top of double broiler and transfer to a small
saucepan with melted butter and blend well. Add boiling water, sugar,
corn syrup, and stir well. Gently boil uncovered for 3 minutes and
remove from heat. Add vanilla. To serve, slightly warm bottom of
cake. Loosen edges of cake with knife and invert on platter. Serve
with sauce.
