Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 loaf French bread sliced into ½” thick pieces
- 2 ½ cups 2% milk room temperature
- 6 eggs room temperature
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup Chopped Pecans roughly chopped
Instructions
- Prepare a 13x9 inch baking dish with the butter and place the French bread in the dish in slightly overlapping layers. Set aside.
- Prepare the custard by whisking together the milk, eggs, dark brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until combined.
- Pour the custard over the bread, making sure that all the slices are coated well with the custard. Cover tightly with foil and chill overnight in the fridge.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake covered for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and add the pecans. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-25 minutes, or until the pecans are toasty and the bread is puffed and beginning to brown.
- Serve warm with butter and maple syrup.
