Ingredients
French Toast
- 1 loaf 2 day-old French bread cut into 1” slices
- 6 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups half and half
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Praline Topping
- 1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Line a half sheet pan (18"x13") with parchment paper or a nonstick mat.
- Arrange bread slices in a single layer to cover the pan (as many as will fit).
- Add eggs to a medium bowl and beat for 1 minute, then whisk in remaining French Toast ingredients. Pour mixture evenly over bread, then flip each piece, so each side is covered in mixture. (It will look like too much liquid, but it will all be absorbed by morning.) Cover, and chill in the refrigerator at least 8 hours, or overnight.
- Bake uncovered at 350F degrees (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes then flip over all the slices of bread. Spoon Praline Topping (directions below) evenly over each slice of bread and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
- Prepare Praline Topping while bread is baking the first 30 minutes OR make ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to use: add pecans to a medium bowl and add 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla; toss to evenly coat. Add butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg to food processor and pulse until it resembles coarse pebbles.* Add brown sugar mixture to pecans and toss to evenly combine.
Notes
- *If you don’t have a food processor, add ingredients to a mixing bowl and cut butter into brown sugar with pastry cutter, 2 forks, etc.
