This a great way to start off Christmas morning - my sweetie made this for me this past Sunday and I am going to share it with all of you so you can get the ohhhh's and ahhh's that I gave him - delicious Ingredients:
1 (20 x21/2 ) baguette (cut diagonally into 20 1 slices) |
4 eggs (slightly beaten) |
1 cup eggnog |
1/2 cup milk |
1/4 tsp nutmeg (freshly ground) |
1/4 tsp cinnamon (freshly ground) |
2 oz. kahlua |
1 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen) |
topping |
1/4 cup butter (chilled and cut up - remember a little more is ok too) |
1/3 cup brown sugar (packed) |
1/3 cup pecans (chopped) |
Directions:
1. Spray one 13 x9 glass baking dishes with cooking spray. Arrange bread in single layer in the dish.
2. Whisk eggs, eggnog, milk, nutmeg, cinnamon and kahula in a medium bowl; pour over bread. Allow to stand on counter for 30 minutes. Turn bread; sprinkle with cranberries. Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate overnight. If the Mixture looks a little to dry in the am - add an addition 1/2 cup eggnog over bread.
3. Heat oven to 400 degrees. With a pastry blender or the two knife method, cut the butter into the brown sugar in a medium bowl. Sprinkle bread with 1/2 of the mixture - turn bread and repeat with the over 1/2 of the mixture. Bake 15 minutes - sprinkle with pecans. Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
