Orange Marmalade Breakfast Bake

When I host a brunch I always look for a main dish that can be prepared a day ahead so I can spend the extra time preparing other recipes. If you like, use grapefruit or mixed fruit marmalade instead of the orange marmalade called for in the recipe.—Judy Wilson, Sun City West, Arizona

    12 servings (1-1/2 cups syrup)

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 24 slices French bread (1/2 inch thick)
  • 1 jar (12 ounces) orange marmalade
