Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Overnight Baked French Toast Casserole with Praline Topping.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and arrange the slices of French bread in a single layer.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, milk, white sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring that all pieces are thoroughly soaked. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix together the butter, brown sugar, chopped pecans, corn syrup, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to create the praline topping.
Step 6
Spread the praline mixture evenly over the soaked bread before baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed and lightly golden on top.
