Number Of Ingredients 16

CANDIED PECANS:
6 cups cubed cinnamon swirl bread
7 large eggs
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons real vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup dates, chopped
3 teaspoons butter, cut into bits
3/4 cup candied pecans, coarsely chopped
2 Teaspoons melted butter
2 Teaspoons brown sugar
1 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Coat the inside of your Crock-Pot® slow cooker with cooking spray Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and crisp in a 275°F oven for 20 minutes, or until slightly dry and hard. Spread bread over the base of your Crock-Pot® slow cooker. While the bread is baking whisk the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg together. Pour mixture over bread and press lightly to make sure all the bread is submerged. Sprinkle on the dates and pecans (recipe below), and finally the cut up pieces of butter and cook on high for 3 to 4 Hours. Garnish with powdered sugar and syrup - enjoy!

Tips:

  • Make sure to use a good quality bread for your casserole. A sturdy bread like French bread or challah will hold up well and absorb the custard mixture without getting soggy.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and flavors in your custard mixture. You could add a teaspoon of vanilla extract, a pinch of nutmeg, or a tablespoon of maple syrup.
  • If you want a crispy top on your casserole, sprinkle some brown sugar or cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
  • Serve your casserole warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fresh fruit.
  • You can make this casserole ahead of time and bake it in the morning. Just cover it and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, let it come to room temperature for about an hour before baking.
