I like to serve this for breakfast when we have overnight guests or for a holiday brunch. It gives Florida visitors a taste of sunshine! Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, melted |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup chopped pecans |
2 tablespoons grated orange peel |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
12 slices french bread (3/4 inch thick) |
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed |
8 eggs |
1 cup orange juice |
1 tablespoon orange liqueur, optional |
1/2 teaspoon butter flavoring |
Directions:
1. Place butter in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Combine the sugar, pecans, orange peel and cinnamon; sprinkle over butter. Arrange bread in dish. Dot with cream cheese. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, orange juice, orange liqueur if desired and butter flavoring; pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. To serve, invert slices onto plates. Yield: 6 servings.
