The pecans add a nice crunch to the French toast. I also like to add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top before baking.

I love how this recipe uses orange juice and zest. It gives the French toast a really bright and citrusy flavor.

OMG! This was the best French toast I have ever had! The orange and pecan flavors were perfectly balanced, and the custard coating was so rich and creamy. I will definitely be making this again and again.
