Remove baguette slices and place them in the brown sugar pan. Pour egg mixture into a liquid measuring cup, and pour over the top of the baguette slices.

Notes
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.
How Long Can You Keep This In The Fridge? Leftover pecan praline french toast 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.
