Ingredients
- 1 loaf of bread, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons finely grated fresh tangerine zest (from about 2 Noble Citrus Autumn Honey tangerines)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups whole Florida Milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed tangerine juice - approx juice from 1 (one) Autumn Honey tangerine
- 1 Autumn Honey tangerine, peeled and divided into segments
- Powdered sugar, for garnish if desired
Preparation
- Spray your favorite casserole dish or 9x13 baking dish with olive oil spray. Add the bread cubes to the dish and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar, vanilla and tangerine zest. Whisk well.
- Evenly pour the mixture over the bread. Use a spatula or spoon to push the bread down.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F
- Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and let it sit while the oven is heating.
- Bake covered for 30-45 minutes until the casserole is set.
- Uncover and bake for another 5 - 10 minutes.
- While the casserole is baking uncovered, prepare the syrup. Combine the maple syrup, juice from one tangerine juice, and tangerine segments in a medium saucepan.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the casserole from the oven, top with the tangerine segments from the maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar.
- Drizzle on the tangerine-infused maple syrup.
- Serve with Florida Milk!
