Honey Orange French Toast

I saw Heidi's French Toast recipe and it reminded me of this one. This one you can bake, so fix and shove in the oven! Great if you have more than 3 people to feed at once.

1/4 cup butter
2 Tabl. honey
1 tsp cinnamon
3 eggs
1/2 cup orange juice
1/8 tsp salt
1 loaf French bread, uncut

Melt butter and hone in a 9x13 casserole. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Set aside.

In medium size mixing bowl, beat together eggs, orange juice and salt. Cut French bread into 1 inch slices. Soak bread in egg mixture and place on top of honey mixture (6-8 slices fit a 9x13 casserole). Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Serve with warm honey or syrup.

What the French, Toast?

We had french toast (with an orange twist) this morning. It was pretty good, so I thought I'd post it.

Ingredients:

• 6-8 slices bread - I used a homemade honey wheat sour dough (which was wonderful)
• 6 oz egg beaters (that would be 1 and 1/2 containers of the individual serving) or three eggs
• milk - (I didn't measure, but about 1/2 cup)
• cinnamon (to taste)
• vanilla (to taste)
• the zest of one orange

Directions:

• preheat skillet
• in a shallow dish combine the egg, milk, cinnamon, vanilla and orange zest and whisk together until combined
• spray nonstick cooking spray on the skillet
• soak slices of bread in the egg/milk mixture - sprinkle with more cinnamon if desired
• place bread slices on the skillet and cook on each side until golden brown
• serve warm with your choice of toppings
