Categories     Breakfast     Bake

Yield 12 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup (4 Tablespoons) butter, melted
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 loaf brioche or challah (a French bread loaf can a used) sliced into 1 1/2 inches thick slices
8 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup whole milk
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup pecans, measured then chopped
1/8 teaspoon salt
for (optional) maple syrup and powdered sugar topping

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl combine brown sugar and melted butter and pour on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. 2. Arrange slices of bread in the baking dish overlapping if necessary. 3. Combine milk, eggs, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and ginger in a bowl and pour evenly over bread slices. 4. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 4-12 hours. 5. In the morning, take the casserole out of the fridge for at least 10 minutes while you are preheating your oven to 350 degrees. 6. Bake casserole for 30-35 minutes. If top starts browning too quickly place a foil loosely over the top of the casserole for the last 10 minutes or so. You want it to cook long enough to make sure the bottom part is cooked but don't dry it out completely. 7. Remove casserole from oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup. Mom made for a family breakfast in 2013.

Meh, this recipe was just okay. The French toast was a bit dry and the custard mixture was bland. I think it could have used more spices or extracts to add some flavor. I wouldn't make this recipe again.

Not bad! The French toast was pretty good, but I found the custard mixture to be a bit too eggy for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of eggs next time. Overall, it was a solid recipe, but I'll be making some adjustments to suit my prefe

This overnight French toast was incredibly delicious! The bread was soft and fluffy on the inside, with a perfectly crispy outer layer. The custard mixture was rich and flavorful, and the cinnamon and nutmeg added a warm, inviting aroma. I served it
