4 eggs
2/3-1 cup orange juice
2/3-1 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 loaf (8 oz.) Italian bread cut in 1” slices (8 - 1” slices)
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/2 cups chopped walnuts
grated orange peel to taste
orange butter

Cooking Instructions

Whisk together eggs, orange juice, milk, sugar, nutmeg and vanilla. Place bread in single layer in large, flat dish. Pour milk mixture over bread, turn once, cover and refrigerate overnight. To cook, preheat oven to 400. Pour melted butter in jellyroll pan, evenly. Arrange soaked bread slices in a single layer in pan. Sprinkle with walnuts. Bake until golden, 15 - 20 minutes. Garnish with orange zest and blueberries. Top with orange butter. Serve with pure maple syrup or orange marmalade.

Serves 4 - 8 (about 8 pieces)

NOTE: To make orange butter, soften 1 cube of butter in a bowl. Using a fork, mix in 2 teaspoons orange zest. With a tiny ice cream scoop, make 12 half rounds. They can be stored in the freezer for future use.
