Overnight Orange French Toast

WAY good! It was even just as good a day later. I made a batch for J to take for his bday, and one for the boys and I -- we needed 2 batches just for our family, it was that good! I found the recipe online, it is from Bechtel Victorian Mansion Bed & Breakfast Inn. (www.bbonline.com and search recipes - they have lots of different ones!)

8 slices French or Italian bread
1/4 C butter/margarine
1/2 C brown sugar
1/4 t cinnamon
1 t grated orange rind (I used 1/2 an orange)
4 eggs, slightly beaten
2/3 C orange juice

Melt butter/margarine in 9X13 pan. Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and orange rind and sprinkle evenly over melted butter. Mix together eggs and OJ. Dip bread slices in liquid, and place in prepared pan. Pour any leftover liquid over bread slices. Sit, covered, overnight in the fridge (or you COULD just cook now...). Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
If you bake it too long, sugar will carmalize. Turn out of pan immediately. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. (I just served it straight out of the pan) You don't need syrup, it is way good without it.

Enjoy!
