This recipe is perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch with the family. The combination of buttery pecans and irresistible French bread make this dish a real crowd-pleaser. The French bread soaks up the egg mixture overnight, allowing for a moist and custardy texture in every bite. The warmth of the cinnamon is perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the brown sugar and corn syrup to create a mouthwatering sweetness. A dollop of whipped cream or extra syrup on top would take this classic dish to new heights.
