INGREDIENTS
•
1 (16 oz) loaf day old crusty bread, cubed (alternatively, if your bread is fresh, cube it and lightly toast in a 350 F oven for 15-20 minutes- this helps the bread cubes absorb more of the custard mixture without getting too soggy)
•
4 eggs, lightly beaten
•
2 cups milk
•
1 1/2 cups half & half
•
1/2 cup salted butter
•
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
•
1/4 cup corn syrup
•
2 cups pecans halves
•
1 Tablespoon vanilla
•
⅛ teaspoon table salt
