For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the pecans lightly before adding them to the baking dish. If you don't have French bread, challah or brioche also work beautifully. Feel free to experiment with other citrus fruits, such as lemon or grapefruit, for a different twist. Serve with a dollop of mascarpone cheese and a drizzle of honey for an unforgettable treat.
