Take our classic pein paurdue (lost bread aka french toast), add a couple ingredients and you have another great addition to your recipe collection. This is a wonderful breakfast treat. |
| |
| Ingredients |
| 4 eggs |
2/3 cup orange juice |
| 1/3 cup milk |
1/4 cup sugar |
| 1/2 tsp vanilla |
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg |
| 8 bread slices 1/2 inch thick |
1/4 cup butter or margarine |
| 1/2 cup chopped pecans |
ORANGE SYRUP |
| 1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup butter |
| 1 cup orange juice |
| |
| | | Directions | In a medium glass bowl, beat together eggs, juice, milk, sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. In a glass casserole dish, arrange bread in a single layer, top with egg mixture. Refrigerate two hours. Note you are not cooking the bread in this dish.
Melt butter in a 10x15x2 inch pan and arrange the bread on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with pecans and bake 10 minutes more.
Orange syrup: Combine the 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup orange juice. Combine in a medium saucepan and cook over low heat - do not boil. Cool for 10 minutes and serve warm.
Variation: Around Christmas, instead of using milk, I substituted eggnog and omitted the nutmeg. My family remarked, "Boy, is it yummy!". |
