The Best You'll Ever Have...

I made this recipe a few months ago when I had 

some friends over for breakfast. 

It was absolutely the most delicious 

French Toast I have ever had. 

You can find Texas Toast in the bread aisle of your grocery store.  

It's thick sliced white bread. 

You WANT to use Texas Toast.

Do not try to use regular white bread.  

Overnight French Toast Casserole

1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick)

12 - slices Texas toast 

1 - cup brown sugar

1 - tsp cinnamon

1/4 - tsp nutmeg

1/2 - cup chopped pecans (optional)

1 - tsp vanilla extract

5 - eggs

1 1/2 - cups milk

DIRECTIONS:

THE NIGHT BEFORE YOU PLAN TO SERVE:

• Melt butter and pour in a 9x 13 pan.  
  
• Mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and chopped pecans. 
  
• Whisk eggs, milk & vanilla together. 
  
• Layer bottom of pan with half the bread pieces 
• Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mix over the bread. 
  
• Layer second half of bread. 
  
• Pour egg mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly. 
  
• Sprinkle remaining brown sugar on top.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight. 

THE NEXT MORNING:

• Remove from the refrigerator and cover with a new piece of foil. 
  
• Preheat oven to 350 bake the casserole for 30 minutes. 
  
• Then uncover and bake 15 more minutes, your French Toast should be browned and set. 
  
• Cut and serve with warm syrup poured on top, of course, you should ALWAYS add a little butter first!

This recipe was a HUGE HIT!

I ate the leftovers for lunch and dinner that same day!

Enjoy!
