What you’ll need to make Pecan French Toast:
- 2 cups pecans
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons butter)
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 loaf of artisan bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
How to prepare the dish:
-
In The Pan, add pecans, brown sugar and butter. Heat on medium-low heat just until bubbling, and when sugar is dissolved. Remove from pan and set into a small bowl.
-
In the same pan, add bread, keeping it in 2 layers in the pan.
-
Add eggs to a mixing bowl and beat with a whisk. Mix in milk, heavy whipping cream and vanilla.
-
Carefully pour the egg and milk mixture over bread in pan, evenly coating the bread. Double check to make sure all bread is coated. If not, press bred into pan so it can soak up the mixture.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Allow the French toast to rest in the skillet for about 30 minutes. Then top with reserved pecans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until center is set.
-
Serve with maple syrup.
