Add Step-by-Step Photos	Shandy / All my dishes 2 years ago This recipe is so yummy and the best part is that the french toast can be prepaerd the night before and popped into the oven the next morning!

Ingredients

1 c. firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 c. butter (I use unsalted)

2 T. honey

1 c. chopped pecans, toasted

1 (1-pound) loaf of French bread, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices

2 c. (about 8 oz.) finely chopped ham

6 eggs, beaten

1 2/3 c. milk

1 t. vanilla

1 T. sugar

1 t. pumpkin pie spice

(pumpkin pie spice can be substituted with 1/2 t. ground cinnamon, 1/4 t. ground ginger, 1/8 t. ground nutmeg and 1/8 t. ground cloves.)

**Maple syrup, if you would like =D

Directions

Combine brown sugar, butter and honey in a 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until sugar melts (2 to 3 minutes). Pour into an ungreased 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with pecans. Top with half of bread slices; sprinkle with ham.

Combine eggs, milk and vanilla in large bowl; beat until well mixed. Dip remaining bread slices in egg mixture on one side only. Place over ham, dipped-side down. Pour remaining egg mixture over bread slices.

Combine sugar and pumpkin pie spice in small bowl; sprinkle over top. Cover; refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake, uncovered, for 50 to 55 minutes or until golden brown and knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes. Cut into 8 servings; invert each onto serving plates. Serve with maple syrup if you like =D
