Recipe
| This has quickly become a favorite in our house for Christmas morning. It's yummy with or without the praline topping.
1 loaf French bread
8 eggs
1 1/2 C. half & half
1 C. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 T. sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
dash of salt
Slice bread into 20 one-inch slices. Arrange in a generously buttered 9x13 baking dish. Arrange in two layers, overlapping slices.
In large bowl combine eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
Beat until blended but not bubbly. Pour mixture over bread slices evenly. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
Next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread Praline Topping (below) over bread. Bake uncovered until golden brown--about 45 minutes. Serve with maple syrup.
Praline Topping
2 sticks margarine or butter
1 C. brown sugar, packed
1 C. pecans
2 T. light corn syrup
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Combine and blend well. Pour over French toast mixture before baking. |
