A teacher from work used to make this casserole whenever we had a potluck breakfast. We all had to have the recipe. Every time I make it, it gets rave reviews!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

French toast lovers, you need to try this make-ahead breakfast casserole. It's a delicious French toast casserole filled with cinnamon and nutmeg. But, the sugary pecan topping makes this super special. Once baked, it's almost like a praline pecan. Super rich, this would be perfect for a holiday morning or a special brunch. This French toast casserole doesn't need syrup, but if you want to add a drizzle when serving it wouldn't hurt.
