1cup milk
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla or lemon extract

Beat eggs in mixing bowl. Add milk, vanilla, nutmeg; beat well. Pour egg mixture over bread making sure surface of bread slices is covered. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Uncover baking dish; bake approx. 25 minutes until top of toast is lightly golden.

In a medium saucepan, melt butter on low heat. Add brown sugar and orange juice. On medium heat, bring to gentle boil, then add fruit. Simmer until heated through. Ladle over baked toast, garnish with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
