Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 loaf french bread (16oz)
8 eggs
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup milk
2 tbs sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
dash salt
praline topping
maple syrup
for praline topping:
2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans (I use more)
2 tbs light corn syrup
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Steps:

  • Slice the french bread into 1" slices. Arrange slices in a generously buttered 9x13 flat baking dish in 2 rows, overlapping the slices. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half and half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and beat with a whisk until blended, but not too bubbly. Pour mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. Cover with foil and refridgerate overnight. The next day preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine all of the praline topping ingredients in a medium bowl and blend well. Spread praline topping evenly over the bread and bake for 40 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden. Serve with maple syrup.
