Make overnight French toast with Chef Jeff

Chef Jeff has a convenient and delicious breakfast for the holidays: French toast casserole with streusel topping.

Ingredients

For the French toast:

1 stick salted butter, cold

12 slices Texas toast, or other favorite bread

10 lg. eggs

2 c. heavy cream

1 c. milk

½ c. sugar

1 tbsp. vanilla

½ tsp. nutmeg

For the topping:

1 c. dark brown sugar, packed

1 c. pecans, chopped (use other nut if you like)

½ c. flour

1 tsp. cinnamon

¼ tsp. kosher salt

Directions

Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray. Arrange the bread into two rows of 6 slices each, overlapping the pieces. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add and mix in the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. Pour over the bread, cover with plastic and place in the fridge overnight.

Take the French toast out of the fridge and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375.

While resting the French toast, make the topping by mixing the brown sugar, pecans, flour, cinnamon and salt in a mixing bowl. Grate the cold butter into the mixture and then mix until crumbly.

Spread over the French toast and place in the oven to bake 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar.
