Imagine filling the kitchen with wonderful aromas when you make this heavenly mixture of butter, brown sugar and pecans, sandwiched in cinnamon swirl bread, dipped in a custard and baked to make a mouthwatering breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Serves: servings

Directions

Heat the oven to 350°F.

Heat the butter and brown sugar in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat to a boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the pecans.

Lightly grease a baking sheet with additional butter.  Place the bread slices onto the baking sheet.  Bake for 5 minutes or until the bread slices are lightly toasted on both sides.

Beat the milk, eggs, granulated sugar and vanilla extract in a medium bowl with a fork or whisk. Dip 8 bread slices into the milk mixture and place onto a baking sheet. Spread about 1 tablespoon pecan mixture onto each dipped bread slice. Dip the remaining bread slices into the milk mixture and place over the pecan mixture to form sandwiches.

Bake for 20 minutes or until the sandwiches are lightly browned.  Sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar.

Tip: When cooking a sugar mixture on top of the stove, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan.  The thicker the bottom, the less readily the sugar will burn.

I stayed true to the recipe when I made this. Yes it is likely high in calories and fat but well worth it for a special occassion...if you like pecan pie and french toast then it doesn't get any better than this! It's amazing!

I made this with splenda blend for baking and splenda brown, halving amounts in both cases. Next time, I'd turn it over halfway thru. However, it was DELICIOUS. Try it! Nice for brunch/special occasions.

I haven't tried this yet but 1 cup of granulated sugar to 1 cup of milk and 2 eggs, seems like too much sugar.

I have not made this either, but I fully agree with you on proportions. I have read that you can reduce sugar by 50% in any recipe, and it will not ruin the outcome of the recipe.
