Marmalade French Toast

Serves 12 (serving size: 1 piece)

3 tbsp butter, softened
24 slices of your favorite Mrs Baird's bread
Cooking spray
1 (12-ounce) 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, lightly beaten
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 13x9-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). Pour egg mixture over bread. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Sprinkle casserole with walnuts. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden.
