How to Make Baked French Toast With Pecans
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the cubed brioche bread to the custard mixture and gently toss to coat evenly. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
- Stir in the toasted pecans and melted butter.
- Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil.
- Bake for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
- Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup, if desired.
