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

- ORANGE SYRUP
- 1/2 cup sugar

Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Variation: Around Christmas, instead of using milk, I substituted eggnog and omitted the nutmeg. The family loved it!
