Ingredients
•
1 loaf day-old French baguette
•
5 eggs
•
3 1/2 cups whole milk
•
1 cup sugar
•
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
•
1/2 cup butter
•
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
•
1 1/2 cups shelled pecan halves
Directions
1
Cut bread into cubes; arrange on a baking sheet. Dry out at room temperature for about 1 hour.
2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3
Beat eggs together in a medium bowl. Stir in milk, white sugar, and vanilla until combined.
4
Place bread cubes in a baking pan; pour milk mixture over bread cubes.
5
Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted. Stir in brown sugar until dissolved, then stir in pecans.
6
Pour pecan mixture over bread cubes; gently fold. Don't mix it in thoroughly, just fold it so pecan mixture forms clumps throughout bread pudding.
7
Bake in the preheated oven until top is slightly brown, 45 to 55 minutes. The center will still be a little jiggly.
8
Cool before serving, at least 20 minutes.
