Categories     Breakfast     Bake

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon orange rind, grated
4 eggs, slightly beaten
2/3 cup orange juice
8 slices firm-type white bread

Steps:

  • Put butter in a 15x10x1 inch pan and melt in a hot oven - 400F. Mix next 3 ingredients and sprinkle evenly over the mixture, soaking well. Mix the eggs and the orange juice. Dip both sides of the bread in the egg mixture and arrange evenly in the pan, spooning any remaining mixture on the bread. Bake at 400F for 25 minutes. Let stand 1 minute, then lift out, turning sugar side up onto a hot platter.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread: A sturdy bread like brioche or challah will hold up well to the custard and cooking process.
  • Slice the bread thickly: This will help to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
  • Make the custard mixture ahead of time: This will give the flavors time to meld.
  • Use a heavy skillet: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the toast from burning.
  • Cook the toast slowly over medium heat: This will help to prevent the toast from burning and will allow the custard to cook through.
  • Serve the toast immediately: Once the toast is cooked, serve it immediately with your favorite toppings.
