Whole grain bread is more nutritious, while day-old bread is often cheaper.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Almond milk is lower in calories, and evaporated milk can be more affordable.

Slice the bread into approximately 18 to 20 pieces.

Arrange the slices in a buttered 9x13 baking dish in two rows, overlapping the slices.

In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half and half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, and whisk well to blend.

Pour the mixture over the bread, making sure to cover all slices.

Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.

Meanwhile, make the topping by combining all topping ingredients in a medium bowl and mix.

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Remove the foil from the refrigerated casserole and sprinkle with the praline topping.

Bake until golden brown, about 35-40 minutes.

Serve warm with syrup.
