Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 eggs
⅔ cup orange juice
⅓ cup milk
¼ cup white sugar
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ (1 pound) loaf Italian bread, cut into 1 inch slices
⅓ cup butter, melted
½ cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons grated orange zest

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, beat together eggs, orange juice, milk, sugar, nutmeg and vanilla extract. Place bread slices in a tightly spaced single layer in the bottom of a flat dish or baking pan. Pour milk mixture over bread, cover and refrigerate overnight, turning once.
  • When ready to cook, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a loaf of bread that's about to go bad, so this is a perfect way to use it up.
