Cinnamon Pecan Stuffed French Toast
Ingredients:
-
8-10 cups of French Bread cut
into 1 "cubes. Any combination of sweet breads/pastries may be used.
We like to use leftover cinnamon rolls.

1 (8 oz.) packages of cream
cheese, cubed

8 eggs

2 1/2 cups milk (light cream
or a combination)

1/2 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla
-
1/2 cup pecans, whole or chopped
-
1/2 heavy cream for topping.
-
1/2 cup white sugar mixed with
1 teaspoon cinnamon
12-24 hours before serving:
Spray 9" X 13" X 2" with non stick baking
spray. Layer bread/pastry cubes in pan, sprinkle cubed cream cheese
and pecans on top of mixture. In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, milk,
vanilla and baking powder until well mixed. Pour over bread and cheese
mixture and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Pour 1/2 cup heavy cream over mixture and sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon
mixture and bake for about 45 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
We serve this with a praline sauce.
Praline Sauce
