Perfect breakfast to prep the night before and have all ready for the morning!
Ingredients
  • 2 loaves white baguette bread
  • 6 eggs
  • 3 cups blend or half & half
  • ½ tsp. nutmeg
  • ¾ tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ cup plus 2 tbsp. margarine softened (should still be quite firm)
  • 1¼ cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • Cooking spray
Instructions
  1. Spray the bottom of a 13 X 9 glass pan.
  2. Slice French baguette bread into round slices that are about 1½ or 2 inches thick.
  3. Place them evenly in the glass pan.
  4. In a mixing bowl combine eggs, blend, nutmeg and cinnamon.
  5. Pour over the bread... it is ok if it floats.
  6. Cover it and place in the refrigerator overnight- the bread will absorb the egg mixture.
  7. In the morning just before baking, use a pastry blender to cut the margarine or butter into the brown sugar.
  8. Add pecans for a rough crumbly topping.
  9. If your butter is really soft and it is pasty, this is fine.. just spread it pretty evenly over the bread slices. I like to make sure each slice has a generous coating of topping.
  10. Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes, or until topping is starting to look bubbly and golden at edges.
