Beverly Ellis of McKenzie, Tennessee shared this appetizing eye-opener. Flavored with orange juice and nutmeg, this nutty French toast bake is perfect for overnight company because it's assembled a day ahead. Ingredients:
1 loaf (1 pound) french bread, cut into 1-inch slices |
4 eggs |
2/3 cup orange juice |
1/3 cup milk |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts |
confectioners' sugar and maple syrup, optional |
Directions:
1. Arrange bread slices in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, orange juice, milk, sugar, vanilla and nutmeg until blended; pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
2. Pour butter into a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Transfer bread slices to prepared pan; sprinkle with nuts. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until bread is golden brown. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve with syrup if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
