Nutty French Toast

Okay, Christmas time has been hectic.  I have a lot of posts to put up and they will follow in the next few weeks.  Sorry for the lack of posts!!

This is a recipe that came from my mother in law.  I made some changes to the recipe to adapt to the Holiday Season.  The recipe calls for cinnamon bread, but I used white.  I would suggest the cinnamon bread, it makes the dish taste more like cinnamon rolls.

Ingredients:

2 Loaves of Cinnabon Bread (if you can't find it you can use 2 Cinnamon Raisin or just plain white bread), cubed

8 Eggs

1 Cup Half n Half  (or you can use Egg Nog)

1 Cup Whole Milk

2 teaspoons Vanilla  (if using white bread add 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg & 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon)

 

Grease a 9 x 13 pan and fill with bread cubes. Mix the eggs, half n half, milk, vanilla and spices.  Pour over the bread cubes, cover and refrigerate overnight.  Before baking spread with topping mix.

 

Topping Mix:

3/4 Cup melted Butter

1 1/3 Cups Brown Sugar

3 Tablespoons Dark Corn Syrup ( I only had light, it worked out fine)

1 1/3 cups  chopped Pecans

 

Bake at 350 for around 50 minutes.  If the top gets too brown before done, cover with foil.
