directions: 'Slice bread into 20 slices, 1” each.  Arrange slices in a generously
  buttered 9x13” flat baking dish in 2 rows, overlapping the slices.  In a large
  bowl, combine the eggs, half-and-half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg
  and salt and beat with a whisk until blended but not too bubbly.  Pour mixture
  over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture.  Spoon
  some of the mixture in between the slices.  Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.


  The next day, preheat oven to 350F.  Spread the praline topping over the bread
  and bake for 40 min., until puffed and lightly golden.  Serve with warmed maple
  syrup.


  Praline topping:

  Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and blend well.  Makes enough for above
  recipe.'
