This dish was delish! I needed to use up some day old, very hard french bread so I made this and the whole family loved it. I didn't add the pecans to the streusel topping (because I didn't have any), but it was still so good. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for posting it!

Made this for the family and they loved it! Great make ahead dish for Christmas morning, or Sunday brunch.
