List of Ingredients



• 1 (13 to 16 ounce) loaf french bread
  
• 8 large eggs
  
• 2 cups half and half
  
• 1 cup milk
  
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  
• Dash salt
  
• Maple syrup
  
• Praline Topping:
  
• 1 cup butter
  
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  
• 1 cup chopped pecans
  
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  






Instructions



1. Slice french bread into 20 slices, 1 inch each (use any extra bread for garlic bread or bread crumbs). Arrange slices in a generously buttered 9x13 inch flat baking dish in 2 rows, overlapping the slices.
   
2. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half and half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and beat with a rotary beater or whisk until blended but not to bubbly. Pour mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk/egg mixture. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
   
3. Praline Topping: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and blend well. Makes enough for baked french toast casserole. Spread praline topping evenly over the bread and bake for 40 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden.
   
4. Serve with maple syrup.
