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
Spray the bottom of a 13 X 9 glass pan.
Slice French baguette bread into round slices that are about 1½ or 2 inches thick.
Place them evenly in the glass pan.
In a mixing bowl combine eggs, blend, nutmeg and cinnamon.
Pour over the bread... it is ok if it floats.
Cover it and place in the refrigerator overnight- the bread will absorb the egg mixture.
In the morning just before baking, use a pastry blender to cut the margarine or butter into the brown sugar.
Add pecans for a rough crumbly topping.
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.
Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes, or until topping is starting to look bubbly and golden at edges.
