This toast was really good! I wanted to do something different with the sauce though, so I added a bit more butter and some maple syrup. OMG!!!! The result was mouth watering, makes-your-cheeks-hurt, deliciousness!

This rating is for the French toast only as I did not make the orange syrup. I made the French toast by decreasing the recipe to serve 2. I made a couple of substituations; i.e., egg substitute for the eggs and Splenda for the sugar. The bread used was homemade French bread. Possibly due to the substituations, it did not brown but was declicious. DH says he would like for me to make it again.

I halved the recipe for 2 of us, used wheat sandwich bread & debated the orange syrup part of the recipe while the French toast chilled. I wanted to be faithful to the recipe & knew I was going to photograph it, but also felt (for us at least) the syrup would be overkill. I finally opted not to make it. The toast puffed up some & browned nicely in the exact cooking time specified. What I like best about this dish is what made my choice a good one. It is lightly sweet, not overpoweringly sweet as many of its genre are. I served it w/bacon & tasted it several ways, i.e. plain (good), w/maple syrup (good), lightly buttered (very good), lightly buttered & dusted w/powdered sugar (Special!). The orange flavour was just right & the nutmeg a nice addition. I do not feel the pecans added anything except to the presentation. This is a lovely company-worthy dish, easy to fix & tastes great. Thx for sharing it w/us.

Made this for our Sunday morning breakfast. I ended up making 1 1/2 times the amount of egg/milk/orange juice mixture for 8 slices of bread. It seemed a little dry with just the amount listed. It baked up yummy tho. I think I should have cooked the orange syrup a little longer because it never got very thick. More like an orange butter. Loved the flavor tho. I have some of the syrup left and I'm trying to think what I can bake to pour it over for a dessert later!
