OMG. This is one of the best breakfasts I've ever made. I made it with Challah, and sprinkled it with Confectioner's Sugar. Also, I served it with bananas, strawberries, and blueberries.
I only had dark brown sugar available and it was so amazing, I am not sure I'd go with the light brown sugar. Thumbs up!

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 loaf brioche or challah bread, sliced into 1 1/2 inch slices

-Combine the melted butter and sugar in the bottom of a baking dish.

-Arrange the bread slices on top, squeezing them in place.
-Whisk the eggs, add all the remaining ingredients except the pecans.
-Pour over the bread, letting it soak in.
-Top with pecans and cover with plastic wrap. (The casserole will not look real moist, don’t worry I promise it will be so when you eat it)

-Set out at room temperature for 20 minutes before popping into a hot oven set to 350 degrees.
-Bake until lightly browned and set, 35 to 40 minutes.
