An ooey-gooey caramelized French toast topping that makes a perfectly sweetened holiday brunch!

Pecan Pie French Toast

We are approaching Mother’s Day, which means I turn one day into an entire weekend! My husband is a pretty good sport about it, although he does have a threshold for the number of hours we spend shopping for flowers!

Our tradition is to go out for brunch, but if we were to ever stay home then I would request this Pecan Pie Overnight French Toast! It is absolutely fantastic, and so easy to make. This recipe would work nicely for any holiday brunch!
