French Toast Casserole


My parents were in town this weekend, so I thought I would make a yummy breakfast treat. There were 5 of us and we ate a bunch and had leftovers, so this makes a lot! It filled up a 9x13 glass pyrex dish.


1 cup packed brown sugar

1/3 cup melted butter

2 Tbsp light colored corn syrup

cooking spray

1/3 cup chopped pecans

1 tsp grated orange rind

1 cup fresh orange juice

1/2 cup milk

3 Tbsp granulated sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 large eggs

12 (1 inch thick) slices french bread (baguette)


Combine brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Pour into a 9x13 inch dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly over sugar mixture. Combine rind and next 6 ingredients; stir with a whicsk. Arrange bread slices over pecans in dish. Pour egg mixture over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Carefully turn bread slices over to absorb excess egg mixture. Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes. Bake for 35 minutes or until lightly browned.
