An easy and absolutely delicious recipe for Overnight Pecan Pie French Toast! Itโs the perfect breakfast or brunch recipe for the holidays! Make it the night before then just wake and bake!
Happy Friday! The weekend is just hours away and you know what that means, right?!
BRUNCH. AKA the best meal in the entire world. Do you agree?
3 of my very best girlfriends are in town for the weekend and I canโt wait to surprise them with this overnight pecan pie french toast on Saturday morning. This is the ultimate holiday brunch recipe!!! Itโs super easy, super impressive, and โ of course โ super delicious. It also goes great with mimosas and coffee, which are both brunch essentials in my opinion!
Letโs talk about ingredients! To make this overnight pecan pie french toast youโll need: french bread, milk, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla, brown sugar, maple syrup, corn syrup, and pecans. You should be able to easily find all of these ingredients at your local grocery store, and with any luckโฆ you may already have them in your kitchen!
The french bread is soaked in a vanilla cream mixture overnight which provides incredible taste and texture. Once itโs soaked overnight youโll coat your baking dish in butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, and pecans! As the french toast bakes, one side becomes encrusted with the pecans while the other side slowly caramelizesโฆ itโs so dreamy!
What I really love about this recipe is how perfect it is for sharing. Once it comes out of the oven, itโs ready to go. You donโt even need to serve it with syrup! Itโs 100% sweet enough on its own.

When ready to bakeโฆ
