This was easy to make and tasted pretty good too. I loved how quickly it was to make the night before and there's minimal work in the morning. If you don't like the taste of orange - don't make this - it was quite strong. Thanks for sharing.

Very good, guests were impressed (and taking second helpings). I didn't add the sugar to the mixture, but sprinkled a little sugar after pouring the egg mixture over the bread. I turn the bread immediately, to help even coverage, and sprinkled the other side with sugar. I omitted the orange zest, and greased a pizza tray with butter to bake the toast.

Love this recipe. Great for stale bread.

I dont usually comment on recipes, but I couldnt help myself this time. This recipe is truly outstanding! It was very easy to make, and eventhough I didn't have any nutmeg and didnt add any orange zest, it still turned out delicious! I did however add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and increased the vanilla extract to 1/2 teaspoon(personal preference). I also melted the butter and mixed it in with the rest of the ingredients. After cutting the (french) bread I then diped/soaked every single bread piece into the bowl of ingredients. I single layered the pan with the soaked bread, placed in refrigerator overnight, 5 hours later I flipped every piece of bread over and placed back in the refrigerator, 4 hours later I took out of fridge and sprinkled the pecans on top. I then placed in oven as recommended at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. The whole fam loved it, including my hard to please little brother :-)! I will definitely make again!

This was awesome! I even made it with homemade sourdough bread, which made it even better. Loved the flavor of the orange and pecans. With the thick slices of homemade bread, I cooked it a little longer than the directions - just until it was crispy and no longer mushy. This is definitely a keeper.

I accidentally added the butter to the mix overnight, still turned ot fantastic, will make again

This was very good,easy..this is what I did i first made a homemade Amish White Bread for this site,I put raisin in the bread and baked it, then I made this french toast,I did like other review said,added some 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and I also added about 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract,2tablespoons of brown sugar and refrigerate overnight and it was so good , also I had some left over so I used them the next day and it was even batter then the first day .So yes I will be making this again,again..THANKS FOR A VERY VERY VERY GOOD RECIPE TERRY137

Very good! My husband is a big French toast fan and this is a hit with him. I use less nutmeg and more cinnamon.

I made this for Christmas morning and found it to be very tasty. My husband doesn't like soggy french toast, so I did not make this ahead. I made it just before cooking it and used rustic french bread to keep it from getting soggy. I really enjoyed this and will definitely make it again!

This is a great recipe for those who don't like really soggy french toast. I halved the recipe since it's just me and added a little cinnamon as others have. I also ended up soaking it for about 3 hours instead of overnight. I let it bake for about 25-30 minutes and it came out great! Had a nice texture and remained that way even when I poured syrup on it. Will definitely make it again...and again...

I cut sugar in half. Very moist, very tasty. Everyone loved it.

A great French toast recipe - especially if you don't want to be cooking over a griddle. I used skim milk, brown sugar, freshly grated nutmeg and added 1/4 tsp cinnamon. I left out the 1/3 cup of butter entirely. Since I didn't have any orange zest on hand, I added 2 tbsp of Grand Marnier to the egg mixture. I sliced the bread 2 1/2 inches thick (reminiscant of a brunch I recently had at a trendy place in the south end of Boston). I soaked the bread for an hour and baked the French Toast for 35 minutes in the same dish - I had read that it was sticking for some people, but used a non-stick pan and took it out immediately after removing from the oven (a bit did stick - but it was so much easier than using two pans). And before serving, I sifted some icing sugar over the top of the dish. Yummy! Great recipe Wanda.

This was absolutely amazing! My only recommendation was that I had to cook it for about 35-45 minutes total. So yummy though, I'll definitely keep this recipe in mind the next time we have overnight guests.

Great! I, too, added cinnamon to the mixture, about 1/2 teaspoon and then sprinkled a little more on top before baking. I do have a problem with them sticking so I've started spraying the pan with spray before adding the butter. Very good recipe. My family loves it and it's pretty easy to make.

I used pep. farm cinnamon raisin bread and it worked great! I also added 1 tsp cinnamon and had no orange zest. It came out fantastic.

YUM!!!! Love this recipe!!! I didnt soak it overnight and it was still delicious. I turned it a few times in about 10 - 15 minutes time and it turned out wonderful. I also used my electric griddle to cook it and then I added a little butter cube on each piece and sprinkled it with the chopped pecans... this was a great hit and I'll be making this one again.. especially for company since it was so easy and so tasty!!!

Excellent! I made this for mother's day and it was a hit with my parents. Very easy and tastes great. I also reduced the amount of zest.
