Source of Recipe

Joshua Grindle Inn of Mendocino, California


List of Ingredients

12 slices sourdough bread
One 11oz. can of mandarin oranges (diced)
1 cup sliced almonds
1 Tbsp. orange peel
2 tsp nutmeg
4 oz. cream cheese (cubed)

Egg mixture:
10 eggs
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup orange juice


Recipe


Remove crusts from bread and cut into cubes. Place half of cubes in a greased 9x13 pans. Sprinkle with orange peel and nutmeg. Layer with almonds, cream cheese, and oranges. Place the rest of bread cubes on top. Pour egg mixture over bread and cover with plastic wrap. Press down firmly so that bread soaks up egg mixture. Refrigerate overnight.

In the morning bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 40 - 50 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into 10 squares, serve with maple syrup, a dab of sour cream and half of an orange slice on top.

Serves 10.
