How to Make Orange Vanilla French Toast
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) or prepare grill.
- Slice bread into 3/4-inch thick slices.
- Arrange bread slices in a single layer in a well-greased 15x10 inch jelly-roll pan.
- 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.
- Pour egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all slices are coated. Gently press down to submerge the bread.
- Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
- **To Bake:** Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until golden brown and set, flipping halfway through.
- **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.
- Garnish with fresh orange slices and a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
