Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups half and half
  • 3/4 cup, plus 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 8 French baguette, diagonally sliced, 3/4 inch thick
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup pecans, chopped

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs (8), half and half (1 1/2 cups), vanilla (2 teaspoons), and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Pour into a 9x13 pan and place baguette slices on top. Allow the baguette (8) to sit for 15 minutes, then flip. Cover the pan and place in the fridge overnight.
  • Melt butter (1/2 cup) in a small bowl. Whisk in remaining brown sugar (3/4 cup), syrup (1/2 cup), and pecans (3/4 cup). Pour into the bottom of a clean 9x13 pan.
  • 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.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake for 45-50 minutes - check a center slice of french toast to ensure it has fully cooked through.
  • Invert your slices to serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Eggs: I use large eggs.
  2. French Baguette: Cut the loaf on a diagonal to get longer pieces.
  3. Maple Syrup: Use pure maple syrup in this recipe! It's worth the splurge! Skip the maple-flavored syrup.
  4. Timing: Remember this needs to be refrigerated overnight.
  5. How Long Can You Keep This In The Fridge? Leftover pecan praline french toast can be refrigerated for a day
  6. 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.
