Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf French baguette in 1" slices
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 1 cup syrup
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • 1. Line a dutch oven with parchment paper.  This is optional but makes clean up later easy.
  • 2. Pour butter, sugar, pecans and half of the syrup into the bottom of the dutch oven.
  • 3. Layer the baguette slices over the sugar & butter mixture.
  • 4. Whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla and pour over the bread.
  • 5. Place in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours.  Tip: on camping trips in the cooler months we simply leave the dutch oven outside (away from animals) in the cold.
  • 6. Bake over the coals of a campfire for 60 minutes or in an oven at 350 degrees.
  • 7. Top with remaining syrup and serve.
