This recipe is really delicious. The only thing I didn't like was the cream cheese so I will leave that out next time. I made this for dinner, preparing it in the morning to "marinate" all day. Super simple, delicious, sweet treat for us tonight. Thank you Miss Fannie! Made for Rookie Recipe Tag ~Summer 2013~. -
Oh My Fannie, these french toasts were so good. What a great recipe. It was quick and easy to make, with absolutely delicious results. The french toast was perfectly cooked and the flavor, oh the flavor; was devine. I used my favorite chinese coconut bread and cara cara oranges in this recipe. They worked really well in this dish. I loved the orange, pecans and cream cheese in this dish. Thank you for sharing a new favorite for me.
