Baked French Toast With Praline Topping image

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.

Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 loaf bread (1 lb, Challah or Portuguese Sweet Bread work well)
8 large eggs
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 dash salt
1/2 lb butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

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.

I used a different type of bread for the French toast and it turned out just as good.

I'm not a huge fan of pralines, so I omitted the topping. The French toast was still very good.

I had some trouble getting the French toast to cook evenly. Some pieces were overcooked while others were still undercooked.

The praline topping was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the French toast itself was delicious.
