How to Make Praline French Toast Bake
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Pour half of the mixture into a greased 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
- Arrange a layer of 12-15 slices of challah bread (or Texas toast) over the egg mixture in the pan. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the bread, ensuring all slices are coated.
- Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours).
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a separate greased 13x9x2 inch baking dish, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Stir in 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup chopped pecans, and 1/4 cup chopped pralines (or 1/4 cup praline topping).
- Carefully lift the soaked bread from the first pan and arrange it into the baking dish on top of the butter mixture.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the French toast is puffed, golden brown, and heated through. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Cut into squares and carefully invert onto plates to serve. Dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness (optional).
