Best French toast I've ever prepared. You can prepare the dish thru sprinkling pecans the day before, an dyou can whisk the eggs with its flavorings early in the day, and slice the bread. In the evening, you assemble it in a couple of minutes, and bake it the next morning. It is moist and full of flavor.
