For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of your favorite liquor (such as bourbon or rum) to the custard mixture. To toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Alternatively, you can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned. If you don't have brioche bread, challah or even sturdy white bread can be substituted.
