Deen's Baked French Toast Casserole with Maple Syrup
The more I make "refrigerate overnight" breakfast casseroles
the more I appreciate them. They give me time to relax and enjoy the company
of my family and friends instead of being tied to the kitchen cooking.
All I had to do was put the casserole in the oven in the morning, no muss,
no fuss. I made this casserole for our Christmas brunch and everyone loved
it.
This is the Baked French Toast
Casserole I made for our Christmas brunch. Some in my family can't eat
nuts, so I only made 1/2 of the Praline topping. Next year I will make
the full amount of the Praline topping and just add nuts to 1/2 of it.
This dish was so moist that some didn't use Maple
syrup with it.

Deen's Baked French Toast Casserole with Maple Syrup
1 loaf French bread (13 to 16 ounces)
8 large eggs
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Dash salt
Slice French bread into 20 1-inch slices. Arrange slices in a generously
buttered 9 x 13 inch flat baking dish in two rows, overlapping the slices.
In a large bowl combine the eggs, half-and-half, milk, sugar, vanilla,
cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and beat with rotary beater or whisk until well
blended. Pour the egg mixture over the bread covering all the slices evenly.
Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. Cover and place in refrigerator
overnight.
Praline Topping
1/2 pound butter (2 sticks)
room temperature
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Combine all ingredients and
blend well. Spread Praline topping evenly over the casserole.
Bake 40 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden.
Serve with Maple syrup.
