Breakfast casseroles are amazing for many reasons, but mostly because you can do most of the work the night before you plan to eat them. For this decadent French toast version, cinnamon raisin bread soaks in an uncooked custard overnight then gets topped with a super-easy praline sauce before it goes into the Anova Precision Oven for 35 minutes. We call this a breakfast casserole, but you could just as easily call it “bread pudding” and serve it with ice cream for dessert.

Ingredients

For the Casserole

1 lb

sliced cinnamon raisin bread

2 cups

heavy cream

1 cup

milk

8 large

eggs

2 Tbsp

granulated sugar

1 tsp

ground cinnamon

¼ tsp

kosher salt

For the Praline Topping

1 cup

brown sugar

8 oz (2 sticks)

unsalted butter

2 Tbsp

light corn syrup

1 cup

whole pecans

Steps

1. Start Casserole

Make the casserole: Generously butter an 8- by 12-inch (or similar size) baking dish. Slice each piece of bread down the middle, and arrange the pieces vertically in the dish.

2. Add Custard and Chill

In a large bowl, whisk together the cream, milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour evenly over the bread, then use your fingers or a spoon to gently press each piece into the custard. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

3. Let Warm

An hour before you plan to cook, remove the casserole from the refrigerator. Uncover and let sit on the counter to warm up.

4. Preheat the Oven

5. Prepare Topping

Make the topping: Combine the brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup in a small saucepan. Set over medium heat. Cook, stirring gently, until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Add the pecans and stir to coat. Remove from the heat.

6. Top and Bake

Evenly drizzle the praline topping over the casserole (use as much or as little as you want). Place on a sheet pan to catch drips, transfer to the oven, and bake for 40 minutes.
