Stuffed Pecan Pie French Toast
Imagine filling the kitchen with wonderful aromas when you make this heavenly mixture of butter, brown sugar and pecans, sandwiched in cinnamon swirl bread, dipped in a custard and baked to make a mouthwatering breakfast treat.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter - 1 stick
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 16 slices 1 loaf Pepperidge Farm® Cinnamon Swirl Bread 16 ounces
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp confectioners' sugar
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F.
- Heat the butter and brown sugar in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat to a boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the pecans.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet with additional butter. Place the bread slices onto the baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes or until the bread slices are lightly toasted on both sides.
- Beat the milk, eggs, granulated sugar and vanilla extract in a medium bowl with a fork or whisk. Dip 8 bread slices into the milk mixture and place onto a baking sheet. Spread about 1 tablespoon pecan mixture onto each dipped bread slice. Dip the remaining bread slices into the milk mixture and place over the pecan mixture to form sandwiches.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the sandwiches are lightly browned. Sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar.
- Tip: When cooking a sugar mixture on top of the stove, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. The thicker the bottom, the less readily the sugar will burn.
