Ingredients

  • 1/4 c. melted butter (1/2 stick)
  • 6 x Large eggs
  • 2/3 c. orange juice
  • 1/3 c. lowfat milk
  • 1/4 c. granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp grnd nutmeg
  • 3 Tbsp. Grand Marnier liqueur (optional, a miniature bottle holds 4 Tbsp.)
  • 12 slc French bread, each about 1 inch thick (see note)
  • 1/2 c. finely minced pecans
  •     Powdered sugar
  •     Fresh berries, orange slices and grapes for garnish
  •     Maple syrup

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Divide the melted butter between two 9-by-11 inch baking dishes and grease the bottom of each dish. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, lightly beat the Large eggs. Beat in the orange juice, lowfat milk, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and Grand Marnier, if you like.
  3. Generously coat each bread slice with the egg mix and place in the baking dishes in a single layer. Pour any remaining batter over the bread. Sprinkle the pecans over the bread slices. Bake on the middle rack of the oven till golden, 20 to 25 min. (The toast will brown on both sides without turning.)
  4. To serve, arrange 2 to 3 slices on a plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh fruit. Serve with maple syrup.
  5. Note: Marilyn Caswell prefers a non-sourdough French bread. She uses Francisco's thick-sliced Sesame French, available at many supermarkets.
