Receta Baked French Toast
Really tasty bread pudding-like french toast casserole. I've made this for Mother's Day brunch as well as Thanksgiving dessert...always really good.

- Praline Topping:
- 1/2 lb (2 sticks) butter

Direcciones
- French Toast Preparation:
- Slice rolls into ~2" slices (either, cut and lay on sides or put tops up...tops will brown). If using bread, slice into 1" pieces and lay 2 rows overlapping)
- Arrange slices in a well buttered 9x13" baking dish
- In a large bowl, mix eggs, half-and-half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, a dash of salt and whisk/mix until blended (not too bubbly)
- Pour mixture over the bread evenly and making sure all edges and mixture gets between the slices.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight
- Next day: Praline Topping
- Take out bread/mix from refrigerator
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Separately, combine all ingredients for the Praline topping over low heat in a sauce pan
- Spread Praline topping evenly over the bread
- Bake for 40 minutes (I usually make a bit more that will take a little longer). Bake until puffed-up & lightly browned.
- Its usually sweet enough without adding maple syrup (but for those with a sweet tooth...serve with maple syrup)
