Categories     Other Breakfast

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 eggs
2/3 c orange juice
1/3 c milk
3 Tbsp orange liqueur
1/4 c sugar
1 Tbsp orange zest
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp nutmeg
12 thick slices french bread
1/3 c butter, melted
1/2 c chopped pecans
powdered sugar for garnish
fresh fruit for garnish
syrup

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, orange juice, milk, orange liqueur, sugar, orange zest, vanilla and nutmeg.
  • 2. Dip each slice of French bread in mixture, turning to coat both sides.
  • 3. Place soaked bread slices in a single layer on an ungreased 15x10 jelly roll pan. Pour any remaining mixture over bread.
  • 4. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • 5. Next morning: Preheat oven to 375 F
  • 6. Divide melted butter evenly between two 9x13 glass baking dishes and spread to completely cover the bottom of dishes.
  • 7. Place soaked bread slices in a single layer in the two dishes and sprinkle with pecans.
  • 8. Bake on middle rack in oven for 20 minutes. Do not turn slices over.
  • 9. Remove from baking dishes, sprinkle with powdered sugar (if desired) and serve with a variety of syrups

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges. Fresh oranges provide the best flavor for this recipe. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use orange juice concentrate, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them. The zest of the oranges contains a lot of flavor, so it's important to zest them before juicing them. You can use a microplane zester or a vegetable peeler to zest the oranges.
  • Soak the bread in the orange juice mixture for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the bread to absorb the flavor of the orange juice and make it more moist.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat. If you cook it over too high heat, the bread will burn before the inside is cooked through.
  • Serve the French toast immediately. French toast is best when it is served hot and fresh. You can top it with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Baked Orange Pecan French Toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast recipe. It's perfect for a special occasion or a weekend brunch. The orange juice and zest give the French toast a bright and citrusy flavor, while the pecans add a touch of crunch. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
