Ingredients
For the French toast:
- 1 stick salted butter, cold
- 12 slices Texas toast, or other favorite bread
- 10 lg. eggs
- 2 c. heavy cream
- 1 c. milk
- ½ c. sugar
- 1 tbsp. vanilla
- ½ tsp. nutmeg
For the topping:
- 1 c. dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 c. pecans, chopped (use other nut if you like)
- ½ c. flour
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. kosher salt
Directions
- Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray. Arrange the bread into two rows of 6 slices each, overlapping the pieces. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add and mix in the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. Pour over the bread, cover with plastic and place in the fridge overnight.
- Take the French toast out of the fridge and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375.
- While resting the French toast, make the topping by mixing the brown sugar, pecans, flour, cinnamon and salt in a mixing bowl. Grate the cold butter into the mixture and then mix until crumbly.
- Spread over the French toast and place in the oven to bake 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar.
