How to Make Oven Baked Praline French Toast
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange bread slices in a single layer in a 13x9x2-inch ovenproof glass baking dish.
- In a blender, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, granulated sugar, Grand Marnier (or orange juice), vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Pour egg mixture evenly over the bread, gently turning slices to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Place 1/3 cup (6 tablespoons) butter in a 15x10-inch jellyroll pan or a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Place in preheated oven to melt butter completely.
- Remove from oven and tilt the pan to distribute melted butter evenly over the bottom.
- Remove bread from the refrigerator and carefully arrange the slices in a single layer in the butter-coated pan.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the French toast is set and golden brown.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Stir in chopped pecans and brown sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar is melted and the pecans are fragrant and lightly toasted (about 3-5 minutes).
- Remove the French toast from the oven and evenly sprinkle the praline pecan mixture over the top.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the sugar begins to bubble and caramelize slightly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
