Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

CANDIED PECANS:
6 cups cubed cinnamon swirl bread
7 large eggs
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons real vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup dates, chopped
3 teaspoons butter, cut into bits
3/4 cup candied pecans, coarsely chopped
2 Teaspoons melted butter
2 Teaspoons brown sugar
1 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

Coat the inside of your Crock-Pot® slow cooker with cooking spray Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and crisp in a 275°F oven for 20 minutes, or until slightly dry and hard. Spread bread over the base of your Crock-Pot® slow cooker. While the bread is baking whisk the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg together. Pour mixture over bread and press lightly to make sure all the bread is submerged. Sprinkle on the dates and pecans (recipe below), and finally the cut up pieces of butter and cook on high for 3 to 4 Hours. Garnish with powdered sugar and syrup - enjoy!

Tips:

For a richer flavor, use brioche bread or challah bread instead of regular white bread.
If you don't have a baking dish, you can use a 9x13 inch baking sheet instead.
Be sure to soak the bread cubes in the egg mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the bread to absorb the egg mixture and make the casserole more custardy.
If you like your casserole more cinnamon-y, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the bread cube mixture.
Serve the casserole with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon swirl French toast casserole is a delicious and easy breakfast or brunch dish that is perfect for a crowd. It is also a great way to use up leftover bread.
