Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 1/2 c. chopped pecans
• 2 cups milk
• 9-12 slices of hearty white bread
• favorite syrup(s) - (we use white corn syrup & a sugar-free maple)
• cooking spray
• Optional - Cinnamon, Raisins, Vanilla, Nutmeg, Brown sugar

Preparation

Step 1

1. Slice the bread into pieces about 2x3 in size (see photos). Set aside.
2. Whip the eggs and milk together. Measure the pecans, if desired.
3. Spray slow cooker crock with cooking spray. Add layer of bread squares and sprinkle half of the pecans over this layer.
4. Pour half of the whipped egg-milk mixture over the layer of bread and pecans. Distribute as evenly as possible to cover the bread. With the back of a spoon, lightly press the bread to the bottom of the crock so it will soak up egg-milk mixture.
Add second and final layer of bread, pecans and egg-milk mix to the crock and, again, try to get all of the bread covered.
5. Cover crock and set on LOW for 4-5 hours. Remove the lid and cook uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the liquid has evaporated.
Serve with your favorite syrup and breakfast sides. Enjoy.
