Baked Praline French Toast

French Toast Casserole:
1 lg. loaf stale French bread (approx. 16 oz.)
6 lg. eggs lightly beaten
1 c. whole milk
2 c. light cream (half-and-half)
2 T. granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
Dash salt

Praline Topping:
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter, softened
1 c. firmly packed light brown sugar
1 c. chopped pecans
2 T. real maple syrup
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Additional maple syrup (optional)

Cut French bread into 20 slices. (Each slice should be 3/4- to 1-inch. thick.) Generously butter a deep 13x9-inch baking dish. Arrange bread slices in baking dish in 2 rows, overlapping the slices. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt; beat with a rotary beater or whisk until well blended but not frothy. Pour over bread slices. Make sure that all slices are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture by spooning some of the mixture in between the slices or turning the slices over so that they will absorb the mixture. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. The following day, preheat oven to 350°F and remove the baking dish from the refrigerator. While the oven preheats, prepare the Praline Topping by combining the butter, brown sugar, pecans, maple syrup, nutmeg and cinnamon in a medium bowl; blend well. Spread topping evenly over the bread slices and bake for 40 minutes or until the casserole is puffed and lightly golden. Serve warm with optional maple syrup, if desired. Yields 6 to 8 servings.

Western Omelet

1 T. olive or canola oil
1/4 c. finely chopped onion
1/4 c. finely chopped green bell pepper
1/4 c. finely chopped red bell pepper
2 T. canned, chopped green Chile peppers
2 T. chopped ripe (black) olives
5 lg. eggs
1 T. whole milk
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 T. butter or margarine
1/2 c. grated Monterey Jack cheese
Chopped fresh cilantro and sour cream for garnish

Add oil to a small non-stick skillet and warm over medium heat. Saute chopped onion and red and green peppers in the oil until softened. Remove from heat and stir in chopped green Chiles and olives; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cumin and black pepper until blended. Melt butter in a 10-inch omelet pan or skillet over medium heat. Swirl it around and up the sides of the skillet to coat. When the butter begins to foam, pour in the egg mixture. Allow the eggs to cook for about 30 seconds, then begin running the spatula around the sides of the pan, lifting the edges of the omelet. Uncooked egg from the top will flow underneath. Tilt the pan a little to encourage the flow. Continue until the top surface is almost dry (about 3 to 4 minutes). Spoon the sauteed vegetables evenly over the omelet surface and follow with the grated cheese. Turn off heat. Carefully slide a spatula halfway under the omelet. Gently lift that side and fold the omelet in half. Slide the folded omelet back into the center of the pan, and let stand for a few seconds to allow cheese to melt. Transfer to a serving plate and cut in half to serve. Pass sour cream and cilantro for garnish, if desired. Yields 2 servings.
