Why This Dish Is So Special

This dish combines the crispy texture of a baguette with the rich, custardy flavor of French toast. It’s a comforting breakfast that feels special but is easy to prepare. Plus, it’s perfect for feeding a crowd or enjoying leftovers the next day.

Pro Kitchen Tips

- Use slightly stale baguette for better absorption without becoming too soggy.
- Let the casserole soak in the egg mixture overnight for deeper flavor.
- Bake until the top is golden and crispy to add a nice crunch.

Step 1

Greas a 9x13-inch baking dish with some butter. Then, layer the baguette slices evenly in the bottom of the pan. In a separate bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. Pour this mixture over the bread, making sure every slice gets soaked. Cover the dish and pop it in the fridge for at least 8 hours, or overnight if you can.

Step 2

When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F. Remove the cover, then mix the brown sugar, pecans, margarine, and corn syrup in a small bowl. Spoon this topping evenly over the bread, trying to get a bit on each slice. Bake for about 40 minutes, until the casserole is set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean when poked in the center. Let it cool slightly before serving and enjoy!

How To Enjoy This Dish

Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar. Fresh berries or sliced bananas add a bright contrast. A side of crispy bacon or sausage makes it a complete meal.

Refrigeration Tips

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to keep the crust crispy. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
