MORNING PECAN CASSEROLE



MORNING PECAN CASSEROLE image

This casserole has a crunchy, pralinelike layer topping. This is a easy, make-ahead brunch dish.

Provided by Judy W

Categories     Breakfast Casseroles

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pkg (7 oz.) brown and serve sausage patties
12 slice raisin bread, cubed (about 8 cups)
3 c milk
6 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp each nutmeg and cinnamon
1 c coarsely chopped pecans
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1/4 c butter, softened
2 Tbsp pure maple syrup or maple flavored syrup

Steps:

  • 1. Brown the sausage patties according to package directions. Cut patties into bite size pieces. Spread bread cubes in bottom of a lightly greased 3 quart rectangular baking dish. Top with sausage pieces.
  • 2. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla, nutmeg & cinnamon. Pour over bread and sausage, pressing lightly to thoroughly moisten the bread. Cover and chill for 8 hours or overnight.
  • 3. For topping, in a small bowl combine pecans, brown sugar, butter, and maple syrup. Drop by teaspoonfuls over top of egg mixture.
  • 4. Bake, uncovered, at 350^ for 45 to 50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use Day-Old Rice: Day-old rice is less sticky and holds its shape better in the casserole, resulting in a better texture.
  • Toast the Pecans: Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and adds a nice crunch to the casserole.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the casserole dense and gummy. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: The casserole is done baking when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the Casserole Cool Slightly Before Serving: Letting the casserole cool slightly before serving allows it to set and makes it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This Rice and Pecan Breakfast Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special breakfast or brunch. With its combination of fluffy rice, crunchy pecans, sweet maple syrup, and warm spices, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
