ORANGE PECAN FRENCH TOAST



Orange Pecan French Toast image

My husband and I were vacationing recently and had this lovely French toast at a bed and breakfast. When we came back home, I kept missing it so I called them up and requested it. They actually gave me the recipe over the phone! I generally halve the recipe for my husband and I, and bake it in an 8 inch square pan. Reheats well in the toaster oven. I served it to my in-laws recently and they loved it. Serve with a little sweetened whipped cream and berries!

Time 1h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup packed brown sugar
⅓ cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
⅓ cup chopped pecans
12 (3/4 inch thick) slices French bread
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 cup fresh orange juice
½ cup 2% milk

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, melted butter, and corn syrup. Pour into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, and spread evenly. Sprinkle pecans over the sugar mixture. Arrange the bread slices in the bottom of the dish so they are in a snug single layer.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, egg whites, and eggs. Pour this mixture over the bread, pressing on the bread slices to help absorb the liquid. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, or overnight.

HONEY-ORANGE BAKED FRENCH TOAST



Honey-Orange Baked French Toast image

I've seen other baked French Toast and other Orange French Toast recipes on the 'zaar, but I haven't seen any quite like this one. I got it from my sister. It is great to feed a larger group and can be made the night before. The orange and honey flavors meld very well in this nice French Toast. Even better, it doesn't need butter or syrup at the table.

Provided by Anissa Wolf

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 6 slices French Toast, 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons butter (or margarine, try for at least 70% oil)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 eggs
1/2 cup orange juice
6 slices bread

Steps:

  • MAKE HONEY SAUCE:.
  • 1. Microwave: Measure honey into a small microwavable cup or bowl. Add cinnamon (you don't need to stir it in yet) and cut butter into chunks on top. Microwave honey and butter for about 60 seconds on medium (60-70% power). Stir until butter is completely melted.
  • 2. Stovetop: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low to medium heat, then mix in honey and cinnamon, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
  • PREPARE THE PAN:.
  • 3. Lightly grease the sides of a 9x13 pan or baking dish. You may omit this step but it will help the slices come out neatly when serving.
  • 4. Pour honey sauce into the 9x13 pan and tilt the pan around until sauce evenly covers bottom.
  • PREPARE THE BREAD:.
  • 5. Break eggs into a shallow dish (a pie pan works perfectly) and lightly beat with a fork to break the yolks. Add orange juice and beat thoroughly with a fork.
  • 6. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, covering both sides. Allow any excess egg to run back into the dish. Place bread on sauce in pan, allowing slices to touch on all sides but not overlap one another.
  • 7. Bake at 400 F for 15-20 minutes or until nicely golden.
  • 8. "Cut" along the edges of the pan and between each slice of bread with a turner, then turn each slice out of the pan and onto a plate with the honey side on top. The honey sauce will have baked into the bread, but if there is any left in the pan spoon it on the top (it will be very thick).
  • NOTES: You can also prepare up through step 6 the night before. Cover and refrigerate the dish, then bake in the morning. Be sure to use a metal pan and not glass or ceramic if you do this.
  • It isn't as pretty, but I often use leftover hamburger or hotdog buns for this recipe. I prefer the "crust" side down in the honey, but my sweetie prefers the "cut" side down so that there is more texture.

Time 8h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Powdered sugar, if desired
1 jar (about 12 oz) orange marmalade, warmed

Steps:

  • Generously spray 2 1/2-quart casserole or 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In large bowl, beat flour, milk, granulated sugar, orange peel, vanilla, salt and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed about 2 minutes or until smooth. Stir in bread cubes until coated.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use orange juice concentrate, but be sure to dilute it with water according to the package directions.
  • If you don't have a microplane grater, you can use a zester or a fine grater to zest the oranges.
  • Be sure to whisk the eggs and milk together until they are well combined. This will help the French toast to cook evenly.
  • If you are using a nonstick skillet, you don't need to add any butter or oil. If you are using a regular skillet, you will need to add a little butter or oil to prevent the French toast from sticking.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help it to cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh fruit.

Conclusion:
