BAKED FRENCH TOAST WITH PRALINE TOPPING
This is a wonderful, make-ahead recipe to serve at a brunch. It really takes no time at all, but it tastes incredible! I used this for our Mother's Day Brunch this year, and it was very well received. I happened to use 1% milk (which I had on hand!) and heavy cream in place of the half and half. In order to save some time, I almost left off the praline topping, but I am so glad I took the time to make it. The nice, sweet crunch of the buttery nuts complimented the dish really well. This is great served with warm maple syrup.

Steps:
- Slice the loaf of bread into 1" thick slices.
- There should be about 20 slices.
- Butter a 9x13" baking dish, and arrange the bread slices in two layers.
- I cut some of the slices into triangles to be sure they fit into all the corners.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs, half and half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt until well blended, but not too frothy.
- Gently pour the mixture over the bread slices.
- Be sure all the slices are covered evenly, especially the ones on top!
- Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
- The next morning, preheat oven to 350.
- Combine ingredients for praline topping, and spread evenly over the bread mixture.
- Bake uncovered in oven for about 40 minutes, or until puffed, and lightly golden on top.
- (a few more minutes if you like it a little crispier on top!) Cut into squares and serve with warm maple syrup.
