This Eggnog Streusel French Toast Casserole features challah bread soaked in a spiced eggnog mixture and topped with a crunchy pecan streusel. The custard absorption softens the bread while the streusel bakes to a crisp golden topping.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 challah bread fresh or day old, pound loaf
- 3 cups eggnog
- 1 cup half and half
- 2 egg large
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg freshly grated
- pinch salt
streusel topping
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup pecan halves
- 4 Tbsp butter cut in pieces, cold unsalted
for serving
- butter
- maple syrup
Instructions
- Butter a 9x13 casserole.
- Slice the challah into 1 inch slices, and then cut the slices into 1 inch chunks. That's approximate, don't get out the measuring tape. Put the bread into the pan and arrange in an even layer.
- Whisk together the eggnog, half and half, eggs, nutmeg, and salt. Pour over the bread cubes, reserving 1 cup of the liquid for later.
- Toss the bread so it's all coated with liquid. Cover with foil and let sit for an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350F
- Pulse all the streusel topping ingredients together in a food processor until crumbly.
- Pour the rest of the liquid over the bread, and top with the streusel topping. I like to use my fingers to make larger 'crumbles' out of the mixture.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 30 minutes, or until cooked throughout.
- Serve hot with butter and maple syrup.
