Overnight French Toast Recipe

  • 9 eggs
  • 3 cups light cream
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons rum flavored extract (optional)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 24 (3/4 inch thick) slices French bread
  • PRALINE SYRUP:
  • 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  1. In a large bowl, lightly beat eggs. Mix in cream, sugar, rum extract if desired, vanilla and nutmeg. Place the bread in a single layer in two well-greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans. Pour the egg mixture over bread in each pan. Turn bread over to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 20-22 minutes or until golden.
  2. Meanwhile, for syrup, bring brown sugar, corn syrup and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Add pecans and butter; simmer 2 minutes longer. Serve with the French toast.
