How to Make Stuffed French Toast Strata With Orange Syrup

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla extract, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  3. Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and spread half of them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Evenly sprinkle half of the sausage, cheese, and raisins over the bread cubes.
  5. Repeat layers with remaining bread, sausage, cheese, and raisins.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and stuffing layers. Gently press down to submerge the bread.
  7. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  8. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the strata is set and golden brown.
  10. Meanwhile, prepare the orange syrup: Combine orange juice, orange zest, and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
  11. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  12. Let the strata rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. Drizzle generously with the orange syrup.
