Orange Walnut French Toast (Baked)

(4 servings) Printable Version

1 8-ounce loaf day-old Italian bread - cut into 1 inch slices
4 eggs
2/3 cup orange juice
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cups walnuts - coarsley chopped
1/3 cup butter - softend
1/2 to 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a medium bowl, combine eggs, juice, milk, sugar, nutmeg and vanilla.

Place bread in a single layer in large, flat baking dish. Pour egg mixture over bread. Turn each slice of bread one time to absorb the egg mixture. Refrigerate overnight (at least 5 hours).

To cook:

Preheat oven to 375.

Generously butter the bottom of a jellyroll pan. Arrange soaked bread slices in a single layer in pan. Sprinkle over the top with walnuts. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle fresh grated orange peal on top.

Great with a pat of butter and maple syrup. Or shhh... a scoop of icecream.
