Follow The Directions

01

Step

Lightly butter a 9x13-inch baking dish. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Prepare casserole: Prick each pancake half several times with a fork. Place in the prepared baking dish in 2 to 3 long rows, overlapping in a shingled formation. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

03

Step

Whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Pour evenly over the pancakes. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight. (Prep time: 10 minutes, Refrigeration: 8+ hours)

04

Step

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (Prep time: 10 minutes)

05

Step

Prepare topping: In a medium bowl, combine pecans, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cubed cold butter and use a fork or your fingertips to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

06

Step

Remove the pancake casserole from the refrigerator and uncover. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the entire surface. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and set. A knife inserted into the center should come out relatively clean. (Bake time: 55 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of bourbon or rum to the custard mixture.
If you don't have pecans on hand, walnuts or almonds make a great substitute in the streusel.
Be sure to use cold butter for the streusel topping. This will ensure a crumbly texture.
Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, and a dollop of whipped cream for an unforgettable breakfast.
