Published on by carol lou

This recipe gives you the opportunity to bake an entire pan of french toast and have it ready when you are. No more flipping and turning french toast piece by piece. It also has a wonderful orange sugar glaze when it comes out of the oven – syrup is optional! A wonderful morning taste treat.

Upside Down Baked Orange French Toast

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons grated orange rind
  • 4 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 2/3 cup orange juice
  • 8 slices of bread (I like to use brioche)
  • powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine sugar, cinnamon and orange rind in a small bowl. In a shallow bowl, combine the eggs and orange juice. Melt butter in a 10 x 15 jelly roll pan. Sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over the melted butter. Dip bread in egg misture, soaking well, and arrange on top of the butter/sugar mixture. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes, watch carefully. Remove from the oven and carefully lift each piece out and flip over onto each plate. Dust with powdered sugar.
