How to Make Bethie's Baked French Toast
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and gently toss them in the egg mixture until evenly coated. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to soak.
- In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, pecans, and melted butter.
- Gently fold the bread cubes into the streusel topping mixture.
- Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and set. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
- Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
