4 eggs
2/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
8 1-inch slices French toast
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup pecan pieces
Confectioners' sugar, orange slices and mint for garnish

With a wire whisk, beat together eggs, orange juice, milk, sugar, nutmeg and vanilla. Place bread in single layer to fit tightly in a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Pour milk mixture over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning once.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pour melted butter into a different 9x13 inch casserole dish. Spread butter evenly. Arrange soaked bread in a single layer in the casserole dish. Sprinkle with pecan pieces. Bake until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. When removed from oven, sprinkle with hint of confectioners' sugar for presentation. Garnish with orange slices and fresh mint. Serve with warm maple syrup or fresh fruit. Makes 4 servings.

The McKay House innkeepers add a "secret" ingredient that makes this recipe unique. Guests enjoy trying to "guess" what the ingredient is. However, if prepared in the above manner, you will still enjoy this wonderful dish, but their "secret" ingredient has been left out!
