I really admire those moms that wake up early and make their kids a nice breakfast. They have pancakes and bacon ready for them before school. Yeah I am not one of those moms! I give them the choice of a frozen waffle, or frozen pancakes, or cereal. Never have been a morning person. Never have never will. So an overnight breakfast is right up my alley!! My little baby that was born yesterday, turned 9! Waaaah! I am getting old. I wanted a nice breakfast for him. All I had to do was throw this in the oven and we had a great family breakfast together with the birthday boy!

Rating: 3 stars Difficulty of Recipe: 3 starsThings that I changed:  I sprinkled some extra cinnamon on top before putting it in the fridge.Things that I would do differently next time:  I don’t think an overnight recipe should have the bread slices laying on top of each other. I would definitely cube your french bread if you make this. If you want to lay them on top of each other, barely have them overlap.Will I make this again? Yes. It was delicious. But I will cube the bread next time.Recipe from: Six Sisters

Ingredients 

1x2x3x

French Toast

• ▢ 1 loaf French bread 
• ▢ 6 large eggs 
• ▢ 2 cups half-and-half
• ▢ 1 cup milk
• ▢ 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• ▢ 1 teaspoon  vanilla extract
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ▢ ⅛ teaspoon salt

• ▢ 1 cup butter, melted
• ▢ 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• ▢ 1 cup chopped pecans
• ▢ 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• ▢ ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions 

• Slice the French bread into 20 slices, 1-inch thickness. Place the slices in a generously buttered 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish. Arrange them into 2 rows, overlapping the slices.
• In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half-and-half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Beat using an electric hand mixer or whisk until blended. The batter should not be too bubbly.

• Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a medium bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, pecans, corn syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to combine.
• Spread the praline topping evenly over the bread. Bake for 40 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden. Serve with maple syrup.
