1 loaf of Texas Toast
8 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream 
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Topping

Instructions

  • Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray
  • In a large bowl, add the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. 
  • Chop the bread into 3/4 - 1 inch cubes and put in the pan.
  • Pour over the egg mixture and toss well until all the liquid is absorbed.  Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • In a small bowl or a food processor add the flour, remaining brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt and mix. 
  • Cut in the butter with a fork or pulse in the food processor for 5-10 seconds or until the butter and brown sugar mixture is crumbly.  Place in a Ziploc and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next morning, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  While the oven is preheating remove the pan from the fridge.
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar-butter topping and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is crispy and the center is no longer wet.
