Overnight Praline French Toast

This decadent overnight praline french toast will literally rock your breakfast and brunch table and catapult you to cooking legend status in one meal! Thick pieces of bread, soaked overnight in a rich, velvety custard, then coated with a pecan praline sauce. How amazing does that sound?!

Praline French Toast

Since this is an overnight praline french toast recipe, it’s perfect to serve when you know you’re going to have a busy morning, say like Christmas or Easter mornings?

I serve this every year for brunch alongside tater tot breakfast casserole, hash brown casserole, biscuits and gravy casserole,  and Bisquick sausage balls.

It’s also great for when you’re having company or overnight guests. It serves 8-10 people so feel free to cut the recipe in half and bake it in an 8X8 inch baking dish. It’s very rich so people generally eat a smaller amount.

Ingredient Notes + Tips

• Eggs: I use large eggs.
• French Baguette: Cut the loaf on a diagonal to get longer pieces.
• Maple Syrup: Use pure maple syrup in this recipe! It’s worth the splurge! Skip the maple-flavored syrup.
• Timing: Remember this needs to be refrigerated overnight.

Storing + Freezing Tips

• How Long Can You Keep This In The Fridge? Leftovers can be refrigerated for a day. 
• Can You Freeze This? Yes. This praline pecan french toast freezes beautifully. Just wrap each serving in wax paper or saran wrap and store it in a Ziploc bag. This will last in the fridge for up to 2 months.
