Directions
Baked French Toast With Praline Topping, This is a wonderful, make-ahead recipe to serve at a brunch It really takes no time at all, but it tastes incredible! used this for our Mother’s Day Brunch this year, and it was very well received I happened to use 1% milk (which I had on hand!) and heavy cream in place of the half and half In order to save some time, I almost left off the praline topping, but I am so glad I took the time to make it The nice, sweet crunch of the buttery nuts complimented the dish really well This is great served with warm maple syrup , This is super easy and quick to prepare Next time I make it I’m going to double the praline topping and use half of it on the bottom of my dish and layer the bread on top of that Then I’ll add the remaining half of praline topping on top as recipe calls for That way you get praline mixture on the bottom slices of French toast as well as just the slices on the top Also, felt it needed a little extra time in oven as others suggested Keeper for sure!, My family really liked this It reminded us of bread pudding used Italian bread, because it’s all I had, and decreased the butter by 25% Also, I made just a half recipe, and baked it in an 8 inch square pan As others have noted, this casserole is so good, it doesn’t need any syrup
