Gooey Pecan French Toast Casserole
Recipe by CherylDLee @ food52.com/
I am not a french toast fan. But I will eat my french toast casserole any day! I saw Paula Deen make a french toast casserole. I decided to look up her recipe, then I tweaked, added, and omitted until I had my own version of a french toast casserole.
Total time: 1 hour
Servings: 8-10
Ingredients:
Custard for toast
2 12 ounce loaves Hawaiian Sweet Bread, cut into 1" thick slices
8 large eggs
3cups half and half
3tablespoons granulated sugar
1teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3teaspoon ground cinnamon
Topping
2 sticks butter, softened
1cup packed light brown sugar
1cup chopped pecans
2tablespoons light corn syrup
1/3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions:
Arrange bread slices in two rows in a buttered 9 by 13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon until blended.
Pour mixture over the bread, pressing the bread down lightly to help absorb the mixture.
Spoon the liquid over the bread until well coated.
Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate overnight.
