MARMALADE FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE

Category: French Toast

3 tbsp butter, softened
1 (16 oz) sourdough French bread loaf, cut into 24 (1/2-inch) slices
Cooking spray
1 (12 oz) jar orange marmalade
2 3/4 cups 1% low-fat milk
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
6 large eggs
1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts

Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice. Arrange 12 bread slices, buttered side down, slightly overlapping in a single layer in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Spread marmalade evenly over bread; top with remaining 12 bread slices, buttered side up.

Combine milk and next 4 ingredients (through eggs), stirring with a whisk. Pour egg mixture over bread. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350. Sprinkle casserole with walnuts. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serves 12
