Orange-Pecan French Toast Casserole image

From Cooking Light. "Making this casserole saves you the trouble of standing over a griddle flipping individual slices of French toast. Assemble the dish the night before your gathering, and pop it in the oven the next morning. Be sure to serve each slice bottom-side up so the pecan mixture is on top."

I'm not a big fan of orange, but I decided to try this recipe anyway and I'm so glad I did! The orange flavor was subtle and not overpowering at all. The pecans added a nice touch of sweetness and crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
