    Baked french toast filled with orange-flavored cream cheese and served with a Pecan maple syrup with toasted pecans. Prep time includes refrigeration overnight.

    Ingredients

    • Ingredients;
    • 1 (20 ounce) loaf uncut white bread (I use French Bread)
    • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (room temperature)
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • 1 egg yolk
    • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
    • 1 tablespoon orange juice

    • 1 egg white
    • 1 cup milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • Maple syrup;
    • Pecan Maple syrup
    • 1 cup pecan pieces (for a richer flavor, Toast pecan halves in butter in a skillet until an aroma rises and the nuts begin to brown slightly and caramelize a little.)
    • 1/2 cup maple syrup
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1/2 cup orange juice
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Optional, Do not use if you use a quality Maple Syrup)

    Directions

    1. 1. Cut 1 inch from each end of the loaf and discard or use for another recipe.
    2. 2. Cut the loaf into 1 inch thick slices and halve each slice on the diagonal.
    3. 3. Cut in the diagonal side of each piece of bread to form a pocket (this is almost like cutting the bread into 1/2" slices except you don't go through any of the other sides of the bread).
    4. 4. Mix the cream cheese, 2 Tbsp sugar, egg yolk, zest and 1 Tbsp orange juice until smooth.
    5. 5. Fill each bread pocket with 1 tbsp of the cream cheese mixture.
    6. 6. Put bread slices in a 13" x 9" baking dish, overlapping slightly.
    7. 7. Whisk the eggs, milk and 1 tsp vanilla until frothy and pour over the bread.
    8. 8. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
    9. 9. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    10. 10. Sprinkle bread with 1 tbsp sugar.
    11. 11. Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    12. 12. maple syrup, 1/2 c sugar, 1/2 c orange juice and 1 tsp vanilla in a pot.
    13. 13. Cook over medium heat stirring as required until cranberries burst and mixture thickens, about 15 minutes.
    14. 14. Toast the pecan pieces or halves while baking french toast.
    15. 15. Cool sauce and serve with toast. Should be prepared ahead of baking to allow for cooling.
