Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• For the french toast: Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray. Cut the bread into 16 slices, about 1-inch thick.
• In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, cream, sugars, cinnamon and vanilla. Dip slices of bread, four at a time, in the egg mixture. Let each slice rest in the mixture for 1 minute per side (2 minutes total). Once soaked, place the slices in the baking dish, shingling them slightly. Continue until all of the bread has been soaked. Pour any remaining egg mixture over top of the bread and let rest while you make the topping.
• For the topping: Roughly chop the pecans, leaving some whole. Combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and maple syrup. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from the heat and stir in the pecans. Place spoonfuls of the mixture all over the top of the bread. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue baking for 25-30 more minutes, until the egg custard is set and the topping is golden brown. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
• Cut into squares and serve with a drizzle of syrup from the bottom of the pan.

BUTTER PECAN FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter.
• In a large bowl, combine the milk, eggs, 1/4 cup of the brown sugar, the cinnamon, and vanilla. Whisk together until everything's combined and smooth.
• One by one, dunk the slices of bread into the egg mixture and place them on the buttery skillet.
• Fit as many slices in the skillet as you can, cooking them until golden on the first side, about 2 1/2 minutes. Flip to cook them on the other side for about 2 minutes. Remove them to a plate. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet and repeat with the rest of the bread slices until they're all cooked.
• To the same skillet, add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, the remaining 1 cup of brown sugar, and the salt. Stir and cook over medium heat until the butter and sugar are melted and bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat completely, pour in the bourbon and stir, allowing the fumes to dissipate for about 1 minute. Turn the stove on medium heat and continue to stir and cook for another minute, or until the mixture is starting to thicken. Add the pecans, stir to combine. Keep cooking the sauce, stirring constantly, until the mixture is deep golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to cook it too long as it will become chewy, you want a nice caramelly sauce. Turn off the heat.
• Serve two pieces of French toast with a little butter. Sift over some powdered sugar.
• Spoon on a generous amount of the sauce then top with whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon.
