Overnight French toast casserole made with sliced French bread soaked in a spiced egg-milk custard, then baked with a buttery praline pecan topping and served with maple syrup.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Slice French bread into 20 slices 1-inch thick. Arrange slices in a generously buttered 9x13-in. flat baking dish, in 2 rows overlapping the slices.

Step 2

In a large bowl combine eggs, half and half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, then beat with rotary beater or whisk until blended but not too bubbly.

Step 3

Pour mixture over the bread slices, making sure they are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.

Step 4

The next day preheat oven to 350° F.

Step 5

Mix praline topping ingredients together and pour on top (spread evenly over the bread).

Step 6

Bake for 40 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden. Serve with maple syrup.
