Anweisungen

Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Cut the brioche bread into small cubes, and add to the prepared baking dish.

To a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond extract, packed brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Once well combined, pour evenly over the bread. Evenly add the chopped pecans to the top.Gently press the bread cubes and pecans into the egg mixture ensuring that each piece is submerged into the liquid.Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or up to overnight.

When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375 °F.Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes or until the top is golden and the casserole is fully set. Sammy's tip: loosely cover with aluminum foil if the top or edges appear to be browning too quickly.

Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

In the meantime, prepare the whipped cream.Using a handheld or stand mixer, whip together the heavy cream, maple syrup, confectioners' sugar and cinnamon on medium speed for 1 minute.

Increase the speed to medium/high and continue beating until stiff peaks form.Don't over-beat, but don't stop beating until a thicker cream has formed, similar to a cool-whip consistency.

Serve and top with a generous spoon of the maple cinnamon whipped cream and a drizzle of maple syrup.
