Description

This casserole makes for a fantastic breakfast treat. The house smells so sweet the rest of the day after you bake this!

Ingredients

  • 5 cups Bread Cubes (I Used Day Old Homemade Sweet Bread)
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • 1-½ cup Whole Milk
  • ¼ cups Sugar, Divided
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cups Chopped Pecans
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon (I Just Sprinkled As Much As My Heart Desired)
  • Maple Syrup, To Serve

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Lightly butter an 8×8 inch baking dish.

3. Fill the baking dish with bread cubes. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt and vanilla. Pour the egg mixture over the bread.

4. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with the brown sugar and chopped pecans. Sprinkle over the bread. Dot with butter and finish off with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, until the top is golden. Serve loaded with maple syrup.

Enjoy!
