How to Make Orange Vanilla French Toast

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) or prepare grill.
  2. Slice bread into 3/4-inch thick slices.
  3. Arrange bread slices in a single layer in a well-greased 15x10 inch jelly-roll pan.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 tablespoon grated orange zest, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  5. Pour egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all slices are coated. Gently press down to submerge the bread.
  6. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. **To Bake:** Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until golden brown and set, flipping halfway through.
  8. **To Grill:** Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet or flat grill over medium heat. Add bread slices in batches, cooking until golden brown on both sides.
  9. Garnish with fresh orange slices and a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
