Steps:
- Slice French bread into 20 slices, 1-inch thick each. (Use any extra bread for garlic toast or bread crumbs). Arrange slices in a generously buttered 9X13 casserole dish in 2 rows, overlapping the slices.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half and half, milk, sugar, vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg and salt and beat with a rotary beater or whisk until blended but not too bubbly. Pour mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, preheat oven to 350 °F. Spread Praline Topping evenly over the bread and bake for 45 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden. Serve with Raspberry Syrup.
- Praline Topping:
- Combine butter, brown sugar, pecans, light corn syrup, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg in a medium bowl and blend well. Spread over bread as directed above.

BAKED FRENCH TOAST WITH PRALINE TOPPING
This is a wonderful, make-ahead recipe to serve at a brunch. It really takes no time at all, but it tastes incredible! I used this for our Mother's Day Brunch this year, and it was very well received. I happened to use 1% milk (which I had on hand!) and heavy cream in place of the half and half. In order to save some time, I almost left off the praline topping, but I am so glad I took the time to make it. The nice, sweet crunch of the buttery nuts complimented the dish really well. This is great served with warm maple syrup.

- In a large bowl, beat the eggs, half and half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt until well blended, but not too frothy.
- Gently pour the mixture over the bread slices.
- Be sure all the slices are covered evenly, especially the ones on top!
- Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
- The next morning, preheat oven to 350.

- Bake uncovered in oven for about 40 minutes, or until puffed, and lightly golden on top.

Tips:
- Use a good quality bread for the casserole. A stale or dry bread will not absorb the custard as well and will result in a less flavorful dish.
- If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use a smaller dish, but you may need to adjust the cooking time.
- To make a gluten-free version of this casserole, use gluten-free bread.
- If you don't have praline topping, you can use a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
- Serve the casserole warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or maple syrup.

Baked Overnight French Toast Casserole with Praline Topping is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning.
