Ingredients
Casserole
- 10 cups bread cut into 1 to 2 inch pieces. Roughly one large loaf of French bread.
- 4 oz cream cheese cut into 1 inch pieces
- ¾ cups Chopped Pecans
Custard
- 32 oz heavy cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 4 eggs beaten
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 cup brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a 9x13 inch pan, spread bread, cream cheese, and pecans around evenly.
- Using a hand mixer, whisk together all the custard ingredients until well combined. Make sure eggs are fully incorporated so you don't end up with a scrambled egg texture once cooked.
- Pour custard mixture over bread pieces in a 9x13 pan. Ensure that all bread pieces are wet.
- Create a water bath by placing your 9x13 pan onto a rimmed sheet pan. Place both pans in the oven.
- Carefully pour water into the baking sheet until it almost reaches the top of the sheet pan rim.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown and the casserole no longer jiggles when you move the pan.
- Take pans out of oven and let sit 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve topped with powdered sugar, fresh fruit, syrup, and any other toppings you'd like.
