  6. Step 2 - Pour half of the egg custard over the bread slices.
  7. Step 3 - Sprinkle half of the pecans onto bread slices.
  8. Repeat steps 1-3 with the remaining ingredients. Place the second layer of buttered bread slices on top of the first layer of bread slices.
  9. Wrap the baking dish in foil and store overnight in the refrigerator. The following day, take it out of the refrigerator. Do not remove the foil. Put it directly in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 45 minutes.
