ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup skim or low-fat milk
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon grated orange peel
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

- Butter
- Confectioners’ sugar, optional

directions
In medium bowl, beat together eggs, juice, milk, sugar, peel, vanilla and nutmeg until well blended. Place bread in single layer in 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan. Pour egg mixture over bread. Let soak, turning once, until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Place bread slices in single layer on buttered baking sheets.
Bake in preheated 375°F oven 12 to 15 minutes. Turn slices. Continue baking until browned, about 10 to 12 minutes. Dust with confectioners’s sugar and top with orange curls, bacon roses and orange slices, if desired.
