FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE WITH CARAMEL-PECAN TOPPING
Sinfully delicious! Found this recipe in my America's Test Kitchen's Family Cookbook. Prepare the casserole the night before and add the topping just before baking. Great way to use up your leftover homemade bread. As you can see this is one of those 'splurge' recipes . . . . do not make substitutes! Time indicated includes soaking. This recipe can easily be cut in half to serve four!!

Tips:
- Use a good bread. A sturdy bread like brioche or challah will hold up well to the custard and baking process.
- Don't over soak the bread. The bread should be soaked long enough to absorb the custard, but not so long that it becomes soggy. Otherwise you will get soggy French toast after baking.
- Use a variety of toppings. In addition to caramel and pecans, you can also top the French toast with fruit, nuts, or whipped cream.
- Bake the French toast until it is golden brown. The French toast should be cooked through and have a slightly crispy exterior.
- Serve the French toast warm. French toast is best served warm, so if you are making it ahead of time, reheat it in the oven before serving.
Conclusion:
Caramel pecan French toast bake is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will impress your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a special breakfast or brunch idea, give caramel pecan French toast bake a try.
