Barbara's Notes:

Great recipe to have over the holidays when you are so busy with guest. Just pop it in the oven in the morning, sit around the table talking over a cup of coffee, while your french toast is cooking. Serve with fruit.

 

Directions

1
*French bread (baguette) cut into slices about 1 inch (3cm) thick, or about 8 slices white sandwich bread.
2
Layer the slices of bread in a greased 9-inch (23 cm) square baking pan.
3
Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg and pour over the bread.
4
Cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, mix together the brown sugar and chopped nuts, sprinkle over the bread.
5
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes, until puffed and golden.

What I do is just sprinkle the cinnamon on top. Just a little bit, but I love the smell of nutmeg. Please let me know if I can help any more.
