Breakfast anyone?

I love breakfast for dinner and these two French Toast Dishes are sure to please anyone.  The great thing about them is that you make them the night before and they are ready for the next day.  So go ahead try them and indulge, they are yummy. 

Orange French Toast

8 (3/4”) sliced of French bread

4 eggs

1 cup milk

2 TLBS orange juice

½ tsp vanilla

1/8 tsp salt

2 TLBS butter

Powered Sugar

Orange sauce

Combine eggs, milk, vanilla, and salt and pour over French bread, turning to coat.  Refrigerate overnight.  Sauté in butter for four minutes on each side or until browned.  Serve with powered sugar and orange sauce.

Orange Sauce

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 tsp grated orange rind

½ cup orange juice

Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan.  Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.  Stir frequently.

Baked Caramel French Toast

Topping

1 cup packed brown sugar

6 Tbsp. Butter

1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

1 Tbsp. Light corn syrup

French Toast

3 eggs

½ cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

¼ teaspoon salt

8 (3/4 inch thick) diagonally cut slices French bread

1. In a saucepan, mix topping ingredients.  Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth.  DO NOT BOIL.  Spread topping mix in a greased 13x9 baking dish.
2. In a bowl, beat eggs.  Add milk, vanilla, and salt.  Dip bread slices into egg mixture, making sure all the egg mixture is absorbed.  Arrange over the topping in the dish.  Cover, and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
3. Bake at 400 degrees, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly and toast is golden brown.  Remove and let stand for about 3 minutes.
4. Place a large serving platter upside down over baking dish; turn platter and baking dish over.  Remove baking dish, scraping any extra caramel topping onto the toast.  Serve immediately.
