0:02
because I'm fixing to share with y'all
0:05
the most incredible French Toast
0:09
Casserole that you've ever put in your
0:11
mouth and I'll never forget who gave me
0:14
this recipe her name is Gwen and she and
0:18
Tom there's just the sweetest people
0:22
she owns Four Seasons travel agency here
0:25
in town so Gwen I'm so glad you gave me
0:29
this recipe 1215 years ago I don't know
0:32
but it's so good and I'm so happy to
0:35
share it with y'all it's one of those
0:38
casseroles you know that you make the
0:40
night before and get up and put it in
0:42
the oven the next morning which these
0:44
are so wonderful for like a Christmas
0:48
morning I used to fix something very
0:51
similar did this when my children were
0:53
growing up or brunches every time I do a
0:59
brunch
1:00
I serve this dish so let's get going
1:03
I'm gonna start with eight eggs and I'm
1:10
gonna beat them up
1:13
they're the color of my boys aren't they
1:17
how about it
1:24
[Applause]
1:27
now I'm gonna slowly add my liquid now
1:31
this is one cup of half-and-half oh no
1:36
this is one cup of milk
1:38
I'm sorry think you're briefing keep me
1:40
straight honey cuz you know how I'll
1:42
jump off the rail if you ain't watching
1:46
me alright so much they'll let as long
1:50
as it can go
1:51
because now I'm gonna add the half in
1:54
half and that's 2 cups y'all I think one
2:00
reason I love this dish so much is
2:02
because you can make it ahead all right
2:04
I'm putting in a couple of tablespoons
2:06
of white sugar I'm putting in some
2:10
nutmeg I'm putting in some vanilla
2:14
extract and I'm putting in some cinnamon
2:21
back I was playing but now can't play it
2:25
cinnamon okay so I'm just gonna give
2:29
that a few swirls you know it doesn't
2:33
need to get frothy or anything like that
2:37
so I think that's got it so I'm using
2:46
one loaf of French bread or if you gotta
2:52
live like this long maybe 20 slices so
2:56
I'm just gonna line this up in our dish
2:59
and I'm gonna kind of let it overlap
3:01
some in order to get all of our bread in
3:05
there and you can use if you don't have
3:09
French bread brioche it's wonderful
3:12
using that or you can use plain old
3:16
white bread all right I think I'm gonna
3:20
need a little bit more this was like
3:23
that half a loaf of French bread I had
3:26
leftover in them when I make when I have
3:29
French bread by me on y'all if there's
3:31
like this much left I put it in the
3:33
freezer and save it fun another recipe
3:36
so I've had two pieces of French bread
3:41
in the refrigerator so okay somebody
4:04
moved my cheese who moved my cheese
4:11
rat-a-tat-tat
4:16
thank you so I took this out of the
4:19
freezer and a piece of a French loaf or
4:23
the French bread so oh my bread is so
4:26
good and fresh we must have made this
4:29
Indiana doing it right in the freezer um
4:32
you know when we did you love Shaw HQ we
4:35
had that bread day oh yeah so I mean
4:40
this is fresh fresh bread but any bread
4:45
will work oh I want a sandwich
4:50
it is so French that Mary's dad Marie
4:57
made that oh my gosh does Deb make good
5:00
bread right 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 21
5:07
but I'm gonna put one more slice in it
5:11
Oh Michael I know you're not eating
5:16
bread right now but I've just pulled up
5:21
off some French bread no local white
5:24
bread out of the freezer oh my gosh
5:28
just touch right there yes wash your
5:32
hands because that bridge is so good and
5:35
fresh and Michaels dieting right now
5:38
y'all so he's trying to stay away from
5:40
brandy oh my goodness it's out of this
5:44
world so fresh all right so here we go
5:48
now
5:48
I'm going to pour our custard over a
5:56
bread
6:00
just like that how about you show me
6:05
hitting using butter yet yeah you know
6:10
the show ain't over Michael alright so
6:14
you kind of want to lift your bread and
6:18
um let that custard kind of get in there
6:24
okay you you want to taste the bread
6:28
before you leave no I didn't forget
6:32
about you I'm just trying to do my
6:36
casserole so and this was one of those
6:40
what I started with was one of those
6:42
small round that was mine alright so you
6:50
want to just like I said just make sure
6:54
that bread wet can soak up that custard
7:02
mm-hmm this is gonna be delicious
7:06
alright now at this point we would cover
7:09
that with a plastic wrap and put it in
7:12
the refrigerator until the next morning
7:17
so I'm gonna put this in the
7:19
refrigerator I'm not gonna be able to
7:21
keep it like overnight we don't cheat a
7:24
little bit alright so we didn't have 24
7:27
hours she's supposed to cover this with
7:28
Bowl put it in the refrigerator and let
7:31
it sit overnight but this is what
7:32
Theresa did she took our turkey baster
7:38
you know she was making funny sounds
7:40
with him yep and I looked over then so
7:44
what she was doing so she took this
7:46
turkey baster and she just basted that
7:50
and it I swear it is like it's at
7:53
overnight it's soaked up almost all of
7:56
the liquid so if you forget about making
8:00
it you can just cheat a little bit and
8:02
still go
8:03
to make it that morning when you get up
8:04
all right so I got to make that praline
8:08
topping and I have two sticks of
8:11
softened butter a cup of pecans chopped
8:14
pecans a half a teaspoon of cinnamon 1/2
8:17
a teaspoon of nutmeg two tablespoons I
8:24
believe it's 2 tablespoons yes 2
8:27
tablespoons of light corn syrup and one
8:32
cup of packed light brown sugar so in
8:38
goes our syrup we used to eat this above
8:46
and I when we were growing up we would
8:50
eat Cairo syrup on our pancakes or
8:52
waffles it's good all right so I 1 cup
8:57
of powdered sugar white that's a light
9:07
brown sugar
9:13
oh my gosh this is I put my butter in
9:18
the microwave
9:19
Oh defrost and I don't let it get too
9:23
soft so don't do that just let it get to
9:29
room temperature but we didn't have time
9:31
to get it to room temperature so this is
9:34
a lot not super then it should normally
9:41
be but it's not gonna hurt it one drop
9:44
