INGREDIENTS

  • 9 eggs
  • 3 cups half-and-half cream
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or nutmeg
  • 24 (3/4 inch thick) slices French bread
  • PRALINE SYRUP:
  • 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large bowl, lightly beat eggs. Stir in the cream, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Arrange bread in a single layer in two greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans. Pour egg mixture over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  2. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, for syrup, combine brown sugar, corn syrup and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Stir in pecans and butter; simmer 2 minutes longer. Serve with French toast.
