Instructions
- Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, milk, orange zest and cinnamon until well incorporated. Pour the eggnog mixture over the bread, then press the bread down into the liquid. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Step 2
In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the French toast from the refrigerator and remove the plastic wrap.
- Step 3
Place the pecans, brown sugar and butter in a small bowl and mix until combined, then sprinkle over the top of the french toast.
- Step 4
Bake in the middle rack of your oven for 50 minutes to one hour, or until golden brown and puffed in the center. If the French toast browns to quickly, cover it with foil while it continues to bake.
- Step 5
Cool on a wire rack 10-15 minutes before serving. Cut into squares and serve with maple syrup or whipped cream. Enjoy!
