What You’ll Need

3/4 cup Whole Milk

3/4 cup Heavy Cream

6 Eggs + 3 Egg Yolks

2 tbsp Vanilla

1 loaf French Bread

6 tbsp Butter

1 cup Brown Sugar

1/3 cup Corn Syrup

1/4 cup Maple Syrup

1 cup Pecans, Chopped

How to Make Pecan Pie Overnight French Toast

Slice thick pieces of French bread and lay down as many as you can fit into a 9 x 13 pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk 3/4 cup whole milk, 3/4 cup heavy cream, 6 eggs, 3 egg yolks, and 2 tbsp vanilla. Pour evenly over the bread.

Cover and refrigerate overnight.

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt 6 tbsp butter in a small sauce pan, stirring constantly until completely melted. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup corn syrup, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1 cup chopped pecans until well combined.

Spray a separate 9 x 13 pan with non-stick spray. Pour and spread pecan pie mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan.

Transfer the soaked bread to the top of the mixture.

Bake for 35 minutes.

Let sit for a few minutes after removing from the oven to let the pecan pie mixture thicken.
