Ingredients
  

  • 1 French bread loaf 13-16 oz.
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 c. sweet potato roasted
  • 2 c. half and half
  • 1/2 c. milk
  • 2 T. sugar
  • 2 T. vanilla extract
  • 1 T. pumpkin pie spice
  • dash of salt
  • Praline Topping:
  • 2 sticks butter
  • 1 c. brown sugar
  • 1 c. pecans toasted and chopped
  • 2 T. light corn syrup
  • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Instructions
 

  • Slice French bread into 1 inch slices. Overlap slices in three rows inside a buttered 9 X 13 baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, combine eggs, sweet potatoes, half and half, milk, sugar, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Whisk until blended.
  • Pour custard mixture over the bread slices, making sure that it gets between them as well.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • When ready to bake, make sure that most of the custard is absorbed (depends on the freshness of your loaf). If not pour some of it off so there is a thin layer of custard in the bottom of the dish. It should not be swimming.
  • Praline Topping: Combine all of the praline ingredients in a small bowl until combined well. Spread topping evenly over bread. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until completely puffed. Say Grace and enjoy immediately!
