Steps:
- Grease a 9" x 13" pan.
- Over low heat, combine the brown sugar, light corn syrup, butter, and whipping cream in a medium saucepan.
- Keeping the heat on low (letting it get too hot is bad - and don't let it boil!), stir constantly until the butter is melted and the ingredients are smooth.
- Remove from heat and add 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla.
- Pour the warm caramel mixture into a 9" x 13" pan.
- Sprinkle the pecans over the top.
- In a large bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, salt, the other 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, and cinnamon.

- Lay the bread in the pan, over the caramel and pecan mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- It's morning! Ready for some breakfast? Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE WITH CARAMEL-PECAN TOPPING
Sinfully delicious! Found this recipe in my America's Test Kitchen's Family Cookbook. Prepare the casserole the night before and add the topping just before baking. Great way to use up your leftover homemade bread. As you can see this is one of those 'splurge' recipes . . . . do not make substitutes! Time indicated includes soaking. This recipe can easily be cut in half to serve four!!

Tips:
- To achieve a crispy and flavorful crust on your French toast, use a combination of butter and vegetable oil in your skillet.
- For an extra decadent treat, soak your French toast slices in a mixture of eggs, milk, cream, and vanilla extract before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd your skillet when cooking the French toast. This will prevent the slices from cooking evenly.
- If you don't have a griddle or skillet, you can also cook your French toast in a nonstick pan or on a griddle pan.
- Serve your French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
