MainRecipesThanksgiving | Overnight Orange Pecan French Toast

   Overnight Orange Pecan French Toast submitted by Karen Johnson
Description
This dish is wonderful to serve during the holidays. It is like cinnamon rolls but without all the work. It is adapted from Cooking Light. Many guests love the orange flavor but if you don't want it, you can leave the rind out and replace the orange juice with more milk.

Directions
1) Combine brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup; pour into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle chopped pecans/walnuts over sugar mixture.
2) In a bowl combine rind and next 7 ingredients (rind through eggs); stir with a whisk.
3) Arrange bread slices over nuts in dish; pour egg mixture over bread. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour or up to overnight.
4) In the morning, preheat oven to 350° and take the french toast out of the refrigerator.
5) Carefully turn bread slices over to absorb excess egg mixture. Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes or until lightly browned.
