- Two cups of cream, half-and-half
- Two teaspoons of vanilla extract

- 3/4 cup softened butter
- Three tablespoons of dark corn syrup
- One and 1/3 cups of chopped hickory, walnut, or pecan nuts
Directions to Make Oven French Toast with Nut Topping
- Place bread slices in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish that has been well greased until they are 1/2 inch from the top; set aside.
- Put the eggs, milk, cream, mace, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla in a blender. Cover and process until well combined. Drizzle over slices of bread. Refrigerate overnight with a lid on.
- Half an hour before baking, take it out of the fridge. Meanwhile, mix the ingredients for the topping. Spread over top.
- Bake uncovered for 50 to 55 minutes at 350° until golden and puffed. (If the top browns too quickly, cover with foil.)
