4 eggs
2/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup 2% milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 slices Italian bread (1 inch thick)
1/3 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup chopped pecans
Maple Syrup
In a small bowl, whisk the first seven ingredients. Place bread in a 13x9 inch dish: pour the egg mixture over the top. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning slices once.
Pour batter into a 15x10 inch baking pan; top with bread. Sprinkle with pecans. Bake at 400F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with syrup.
Note: I used 1% milk in this recipe because that's what I use at home and it worked. Can be served for breakfast or if you are like me and sometimes enjoy breakfast dishes for dinner, have it then. Delicious and filling.
