Ingredients
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3 fresh pears, sliced
- 4 cups French bread, cut into small pieces (better to not use the crust)
- 1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
- 9 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- powdered sugar or maple syrup
Instructions
- Melt the butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the water and continue heating until bubbly. Remove from heat and pour into a well-greased 9?x13? baking pan, making sure to spread it evenly. Arrange the pears on top of the brown sugar mixture. Sprinkle the bread evenly over the pears, then sprinkle with the chopped nuts. Beat the eggs, milk and vanilla together and pour evenly over the entire mixture.* Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes or until it becomes puffy and the eggs are no longer runny. Serve with powdered sugar or maple syrup.
- *I like to press the bread down with my hands or a spatula once I have poured the egg mixture on top to make sure the bread all gets soaked with the liquid.
