Pecan Crumble:

•     1 cup all-purpose flour
•     1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
•     1 stick cold unsalted butter, diced
•     1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
•     1/2 cup toasted and chopped pecans

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter a 13 by 9-inch baking dish.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugars, sweet potato puree, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. Cook over medium-high heat, just until the mixture begins to boil. Remove from the heat and set aside.

6. Add another 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture and whisk to combine.
7. Pour the egg mixture into the milk mixture. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until it’s thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 3 to 5 minutes.
8. Strain the custard and reserve.
9. Cover the bottom of the baking dish with 1 layer of bread slices.
10. Pour about 1/4 of the custard mixture over the bread. Repeat with remaining bread and custard, ending with custard.
11. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
12. Sprinkle the bread pudding with the pecan crumble.
