## Ingredients

- 2 cups half and half
- 0.5 cup milk
- 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 sticks butter softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 Tbsp light corn syrup optional
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg

## Instructions

1. Prepare a 9"x13" baking dish by coating the entire inside of the dish with butter or cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Slice the French bread, about 1-inch thick.
3. Arrange slices in your prepared baking dish in rows, overlapping the slices. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, whisk eggs.
5. Add half-and-half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
6. Pour the egg mixture over the bread slices, making sure they are covered evenly.
7. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices making sure all the slices are completely covered.
8. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
9. The next day, preheat oven to 350°F.
10. Meanwhile, carefully flip each piece of bread over to make sure everything is nice and coated with the mixture.
11. Combine all topping ingredients in a medium bowl and mix to combine.
12. Spoon the topping on top of the prepared bread slices.
13. Spread the topping evenly over the bread (like you are icing a cake).
14. You can also spread some of the mixture in between the slices to make sure the entire slice is covered (if you prefer).
15. Bake for 35-40 minutes (no need to cover with foil), until puffed and lightly golden.

## Equipment

- 9"x13" baking dish
- large bowl
- foil
- medium bowl

## Tips

- If you prefer a more baked/crisp texture, use a larger pan or two 9x13 pans.
- Sliced sourdough bread from the bakery works great and saves time.
- If you forget to make it the night before, ensure the slices are well-soaked and proceed with directions.
- Add 1 cup of chopped pecans to the cinnamon crunch topping for a praline topping.
- Serve with fresh berries instead of the praline topping to lighten it up.
