Provided by American Pecans

Number Of Ingredients 17

French Toast
A 1-pound loaf challah, sliced 1" thick
Unsalted butter, room temperature (for baking dish)
4 Large egg yolks
2 Cups of heavy cream
2 Cups of whole milk
½ Cup of sugar
1 Tsp. of vanilla extract
½ Tsp. of ground cinnamon
½ Tsp. of ground nutmeg
½ Tsp. of kosher salt
Pecan Crumble and Assembly
¾ Cup of raw pecan halves
2 Tbsp. of chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 Tbsp. of light brown sugar
½ Tsp. of kosher salt
Fresh raspberries and blueberries

Steps:

  • French Toast
  • Spread out bread on a rimmed baking sheet; let stand overnight.
  • Butter a 13x9" baking dish. Cut bread so slices are similar in size. Arrange, overlapping, in rows in prepared dish.
  • Whisk eggs, egg yolks, cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour over bread, pressing bread to help it soak up custard. Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
  • Pecan Crumble and Assembly
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Pulse pecans, butter, brown sugar, and salt in a food processor until Pecans are coarsely chopped. Scatter pecan crumble over soaked bread.
  • Place dish on a rimmed baking sheet and cover tightly with foil. Bake until warmed through (a knife inserted into the center should feel warm to the touch), 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake until deeply browned, 35-40 minutes longer. Let cool slightly before serving with fresh berries.

FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE WITH BROWN SUGAR-WALNUT CRUMBLE



French Toast Casserole with Brown Sugar-Walnut Crumble image

This is a glorious dish to make for brunch guests: You soak the bread in eggs overnight, so the next morning all you have to do is top the casserole with streusel and bake. The overnight soak makes the finished French toast almost like a custardy souffle.

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened, for the casserole dish
1 loaf Italian-style bread, cut into 18 half-inch-thick slices (about 1 pound)
6 large eggs
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • For the casserole: Generously butter a 3-quart casserole dish. Arrange the bread slices over the bottom of the dish in three rows of 6 slices, shingling slightly.
  • Whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon salt in large bowl until combined and smooth. Whisk in the milk and heavy cream. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, making sure that all slices have been coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 12.
  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • For the crumble: Toss the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Add the butter and work it in with your fingers until the mixture is crumbly with pea-sized bits of butter. Mix in the walnuts.
  • To assemble: Give the bread slices in the casserole dish a gentle push into the custard. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the top.
  • Bake the casserole until the top is puffed and browned and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes (it will still be a little wiggly but will continue to cook a bit out of the oven); check halfway through the baking time and tent with foil if the topping is browning too quickly. Serve hot.
