This Baked Orange French Toast Recipe is definitely the bomb!  So yummy and it’s so great to be able to pop your french toast in the oven and cook all at once.  If you’ve never tried Baked French Toast, you definitely need to give this a try.

I LOVE french toast!

What I don’t love, is standing over the stove, cooking the toast a few pieces at a time…

I recently tried out a crockpot french toast recipe and what a disaster that turned out to be!  Of course, hindsight is 20/20 and I should’ve known better. (French toast in the crock pot? c’mon… but the recipe photo in the magazine looked so good, I had to try it.  If you follow me on Instagram, you may already have read and seen the pictures about the crockpot french toast disaster- so follow me on Instagram, wink… wink.)

Moving on from that disaster, I had another Baked French Toast recipe to try, this one included the flavors of orange and vanilla and sounded delicious…  And it was.

And it was.

The french toast came out crispy and sweet with just a hint of orange and vanilla.  I added the powdered sugar for the photo, but it certainly didn’t need it.

The original recipe called for day-old raisin bread, though I used our regular bread since that’s what I had on hand.  (I like to buy the store brand 100% whole wheat and the Walmart brand is my fave because it is sliced slightly thinner.  Saves on calories. )  This would be amazing with a slightly thicker bread too.

For this recipe, I used Davidson’s Safest Choice® Pasteurized Eggs.  The Safest Choice eggs are pasteurized and are great for recipes with undercooked eggs, (I have a fear of under-cooking or serving food with raw eggs in it) but they cook up just like regular eggs and can be used in any recipe.

There’s no reason to wait for the weekend to make this recipe! It makes an excellent “breakfast for dinner meal”.
