Instructions:

Prepare the Bread:

-
Layer with Cherries:
- Spread the frozen cherries evenly over the bread cubes in the pan.
-
Add French Bread Slices:
- Cut ten 1-inch slices of French bread and place them over the layer of cherries.
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.
- Add in the milk, half-and-half, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, and sugar. Beat the mixture until smooth.
-
Pour Over Bread:
- Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the French bread slices in the baking pan.
-
Prepare Topping:
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- Stir in the brown sugar, dark corn syrup, and chopped walnuts until combined.
-
Add Topping:
- Spread the prepared topping mixture evenly over the bread slices in the pan.
-
Chill Overnight:
- Cover the baking pan with foil and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Preheat and Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Remove the foil cover from the baking pan and bake the French toast uncovered for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and set.

Final Touch:
