Ingredients:
5 eggs
2/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ of a 16 ounce loaf of Italian bread, cut in 1 inch slices
½ stick butter
pecan halves (or pieces)
Instructions:
Using a wire whisk beat together the first 6 ingredients. Place the bread in a casserole that just fits the slices. Pour the mixture over the bread slices. Cover and refigerate overnight turning once.
In a separate pan melt butter to form a thin layer in the bottom (approx. ½ stick). Arrange soaked slices on top of the layer of butter and top with pecans.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or just until the bread “puff’s up”.
