Overnight Pecan Pie French Toast 🍞☕️🍂🥧 This Pecan Pie French Toast is my favorite and easy to make! The pecan pie filling with the challah bread is so yummy. Full recipe below.

Cover with plastic wrap and let the bread sit over night in the fridge. If you do not want to make it overnight I would suggest letting it sit in the fridge for 2 hours before baking it, to let the bread soak. * Make pecan pie base on a stove top, using a medium pan. Melt butter, add in brown sugar and stir till combine. Add in maple syrup or honey and heavy cream and combine. Once pecan filling mixture is fully combined, add in chopped pecans cover them with the mixture. * Pour pecan pie mixture in the bottom of a deep baking dish and spread evenly. Place soaked bread on top. If you have leftover milk mixture pour on top of French toast. * Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and bake for 35-40 minutes till tops of French toast start to brown. Remove from oven and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Using a spatula flip French toast to have the pecans facing up. * Optional top off with whip cream. Beat whip cream ingredients for 3 minutes till stiff peaks form.
