Pecan Crusted Overnight French Bread from Best of Best QVC (Brit, is this it?)??)

‎07-10-2014 05:46 AM

Many of us have posted the "overnight" French toast casserole recipes, but this one is a bit different - has lots less eggs and sugar, and the prep is different. Sounds easy! Thought I'd share, since I know BritBrit13 is looking for her long lost recipe - hope this is it, or you find it, Brit!!

(added by Rose Gundy of Richland, Washington from Best of the Best from QVC Cookbook, copyright 2002)

Pecan Crusted Overnight French Bread

This can be made for a large group by doubling or tripling the recipe--as long as you can refrigerate all of it overnight.

1/2 cup butter, melted

1/2 cup pancake syrup

1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

2 eggs

1/2 cup half-and-half

3 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 tablespoon cinnamon

Dash nutmeg

1 loaf French bread, sliced into enough slices to fit pan (about 16)



Mix butter and syrup. Pour on shallow pan or cookie sheet. Sprinkle nuts over syrup mixture.

Mix eggs, half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Dip bread in mixture until good and moist.

Place bread on syrup mixture; cover and store in refrigerator overnight.

Next morning - Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Sometimes I line my pans with parchment paper or foil to help make clean-up easier......

DiamondGirly,

Thanks so much for this recipe. I've been looking for such a recipe that didn't have 6-8 eggs in it for years and here it is!

(I'm watching the Giants-As game now and we're (Giants) doing horribly at 6-0. Wouldn't you know it, the one day game with the Giants broadcast on the MBL Channel, and we're going down badly.)

Agree - parchment is God's gift to bakers.

sfnative,

You are very welcome! I was happy to find one without so many eggs, as well! I hope it turns out well!

(YES....our poor Giants...hubby keeps reminding me that it's still early in the season, considering how many games they play. I will hold that thought!! Smiley Happy )

I agree...but I won't have a problem w/ clean-up since DH is in charge of that!! LOL

Love the 'less eggs' in this recipe! I have many guests coming in Aug. and this would be perfect.

Thanks for sharing all the recipes!!
