Step 1: Cube bread the place in a large bowl.
Step 2: In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, half & half, sugar, salt, and vanilla to eggs. Pour over bread. Allow to sit 10 to 15 minutes
Step 3: In another small bowl, combine the softened butter and brown sugar until smooth (the mixture will have the consistency of wet sand) then mix in pecans.
Step 4: Pour half of the bread mixture into a greased 8×8 inch pan. Top with half the pecan mixture.
Step 5: Spoon remaining bread mixture over and top with remaining pecan mixture. Press down into pan slightly. Pan will be really full. Top with remaining pecan mixture.
Step 6: Place pan on a cookie sheet with a edge to catch mixture that may boil over. Bake at 350 degrees (preheated oven) for 45 to 55 minutes. Center will be slightly wiggly, but will set when cool.
