Baked French Toast

I found whole wheat cinnamon raisin rolls at TJ's but they were on the dry side so I turned them into this delicious breakfast. It would be great for entertaining guests or for a brunch with friends. The praline topping is a little sweet for me so I could do without it but everyone else thought it was great.

butter a large casserole dish
Break cinnamon rolls into one inch pieces
Combine:
8 eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup half and half
1 tsp cinnamon
dash of salt
1 tsp vanilla
pour over bread

Praline Topping:
One stick butter cut into pieces
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup pecans
raisins
pour over toast to bake for the last 20 minutes

**This makes an excellent dessert. Better the next day. Tastes like bread pudding**
