Orange French Toast

This french toast is assembled the night before so it can soak in all of the good orange juice egg custard mixture. The syrup or topping is made with the remaining juice, a little sugar and butter.

This is good enough to be served as a dessert also, if you do I’d add a dollop of sweetened whipped cream. The orange juice topping is not like syrup. It is a little thinner but really good. Get extra sauce and start dunking those bites of french toast into it.
