For a richer flavor, consider using brioche bread instead of French bread. To toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning. If you prefer a custard-like French toast, use a slightly higher ratio of milk and cream to eggs.

Oct 8, 2022I cut back on the brown sugar slightly, as I found it a bit too sweet for my taste. It was still delicious!
