A delicious way to get rid of bread that needs to be gotten rid of. :) French bread works best but I've made this with all kinds of day old bread.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed (or substitute) shopping list
- 1/3 cup light butter, melted shopping list
- 1/3 cup pecans, chopped shopping list
- 1 teaspoon grated orange rind shopping list
- 1 cup fresh orange juice shopping list
- 1/2 cup milk, cream, fat-free half and half (basically any dairy) shopping list
- 3 tablespoons sugar shopping list

How to make it
- Combine brown sugar and butter; pour into a 13x9 baking dish coated with cooking spray.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly over sugar mixture.
- Combine rind, orange juice, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, egg whites, and eggs; stir with a whisk.
- Arrange bread slices over pecans in dish; pour egg mixture over bread.
- Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, or up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350.
