Ingredients
  

Bourbon Pecan French Toast Casserole

  • 16 ounces brioche bread
  • 3 cups milk
  • ¼ cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup bourbon
  • ½ cup maple syrup

Cinnamon Pecan Crumble Topping

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup Dixie Crystals Light Brown Sugar
  • ½ cup pecans
  • ½ cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Butter or spray large casserole baking dish and set aside. Cube brioche into 1/2 inch cubes.
  • In large food processor, combine ingredients for Cinnamon Pecan Crumble Topping. Pulse until combined and butter is cut into small pieces. Do not over-pulse, or else the butter will start melting and it will become dough-like.
  • Place half of the bread cubes into the casserole dish. Sprinkle half of the Cinnamon Pecan Crumble Topping. Repeat with remaining brioche cubes and crumble topping.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and granulated sugar until the milk is warm and sugar has dissolved. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cinnamon, bourbon and maple syrup. Slowly pour in the warm milk mixture while constantly whisking.
  • Slowly pour liquid over bread cubes. If necessary, press down slightly so every piece of bread is coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate minimum 1 hour, up to 8 hours.
  • Heat oven to 350°F. Bake casserole 45-60 minutes, until the center is no longer soggy and the top is lightly brown. Serve warm with Bourbon Maple Syrup
