Directions:
Slice French bread into 20 slices, 1 inch each. Arrange slices in a generously buttered 9 x 13 inch flat baking dish, overlapping slices. In a large bowl, combine eggs, half and half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Beat with a rotary beater or whish 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 350º, spread praline topping over the bread and bake for 40 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden. Serve with the maple syrup.

I made blueberry compote to serve with it and also had the maple syrup available. This recipe serves 6 - 8 people and it is a wonderful brunch menu item.
