Bread Recipe #12 - Orange-Cinnamon French Toast

What I liked about this recipe was that it was simple to make, that it was baked, and finally, that it tasted delicious. I think a little orange zest added to the egg mixture would give it a little more zing. Ingredients: 2-4 tablespoons butter, melted, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 3 eggs, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/8 teaspoon salt, optional, 6 slices bread, additional honey, optional, powdered sugar for sprinkling. Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees; coat the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix the butter, honey and cinnamon. Pour into the prepared pan and spread to coat the bottom. In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, orange juice and, if desired, salt. Dip both sides of bread in egg mixture. Place in prepared pan. Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Invert onto a serving platter; sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired and serve with honey.
