Ingredients
- bread - watch the video to see (sliced, any kind, stale bread works well)
- milk - watch the video to see (part of the custard liquid)
- orange juice - watch the video to see (substituted for part of the milk in custard)
- eggs - watch the video to see (for custard)
- orange zest - watch the video to see (adds citrus flavor)
- dates - watch the video to see (scattered on top for sweetness)
- pistachios - watch the video to see (sprinkled on top before serving)
- maple syrup - watch the video to see (drizzled on top before serving)
- seasoning - watch the video to see (usual French toast seasoning (likely salt, cinnamon, vanilla extract))
Instructions
- Prepare custard: Put all custard ingredients including milk, eggs, orange juice, orange zest, and seasoning into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Assemble casserole: Place sliced bread in a baking dish. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread. Use a spoon to ensure custard soaks through from bottom to top.
- Add dates and refrigerate: Scatter dates on top of the custard-covered bread. Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight to allow bread to soak.
- Bake the casserole: Bake the casserole the next morning (exact temperature and time not specified, typically 350°F/175°C for about 45-60 minutes until set and golden).
- Finish and serve: Sprinkle additional dates and pistachios on top. Drizzle with maple syrup before serving.
