HONEY-ORANGE BAKED FRENCH TOAST



Honey-Orange Baked French Toast image

I've seen other baked French Toast and other Orange French Toast recipes on the 'zaar, but I haven't seen any quite like this one. I got it from my sister. It is great to feed a larger group and can be made the night before. The orange and honey flavors meld very well in this nice French Toast. Even better, it doesn't need butter or syrup at the table.

Time 20m

Yield 6 slices French Toast, 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons butter (or margarine, try for at least 70% oil)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 eggs
1/2 cup orange juice
6 slices bread

Steps:

  • MAKE HONEY SAUCE:.
  • 1. Microwave: Measure honey into a small microwavable cup or bowl. Add cinnamon (you don't need to stir it in yet) and cut butter into chunks on top. Microwave honey and butter for about 60 seconds on medium (60-70% power). Stir until butter is completely melted.
  • 2. Stovetop: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low to medium heat, then mix in honey and cinnamon, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
  • PREPARE THE PAN:.
  • 3. Lightly grease the sides of a 9x13 pan or baking dish. You may omit this step but it will help the slices come out neatly when serving.
  • 4. Pour honey sauce into the 9x13 pan and tilt the pan around until sauce evenly covers bottom.
  • PREPARE THE BREAD:.
  • 5. Break eggs into a shallow dish (a pie pan works perfectly) and lightly beat with a fork to break the yolks. Add orange juice and beat thoroughly with a fork.
  • 6. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, covering both sides. Allow any excess egg to run back into the dish. Place bread on sauce in pan, allowing slices to touch on all sides but not overlap one another.
  • 7. Bake at 400 F for 15-20 minutes or until nicely golden.
  • 8. "Cut" along the edges of the pan and between each slice of bread with a turner, then turn each slice out of the pan and onto a plate with the honey side on top. The honey sauce will have baked into the bread, but if there is any left in the pan spoon it on the top (it will be very thick).
  • NOTES: You can also prepare up through step 6 the night before. Cover and refrigerate the dish, then bake in the morning. Be sure to use a metal pan and not glass or ceramic if you do this.
  • It isn't as pretty, but I often use leftover hamburger or hotdog buns for this recipe. I prefer the "crust" side down in the honey, but my sweetie prefers the "cut" side down so that there is more texture.

FRENCH TOAST BAKED IN HONEY-PECAN SAUCE



French Toast Baked in Honey-Pecan Sauce image

This comes from "The New Intercourses: An Aphrodisiac Cookbook" and I'll say nothing more about that. This is really, really good. You'll get out of it what you put into it, meaning....real vanilla extract, real butter and real maple syrup. This needs to set overnight and that's not included in the prep time.

1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup chopped pecans

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Place butter in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish and set in oven; when butter is melted, stir in brown sugar, honey, maple syrup and pecans.
  • Set soaked bread slices on top of pecan mixture. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.

  • Serve immediately with ice cold milk or piping hot coffee.

HONEY BAKED FRENCH TOAST



Honey Baked French Toast image

This has to be my favorite way to make french toast. The HONEY makes the recipe!! Use a dense French or Italian bread with this, it works out much better. From One Bite Won't Kill You cookbook.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons honey
2/3 cup fresh orange juice
4 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 slices bread (thick slices)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Put the butter and honey into a 9 x 13 inch non reactive baking dish. Heat them in the oven until the butter is melted and the honey is bubbling. Take them out of the oven and stir well.
  • Whisk together the juice, eggs, spices, and salt in another baking dish. Dip each slice of bread in the juice mixture, turning it once to coat well, and then carefully set the pieces of bread in the honey-buttered pan.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until well browned. Don't flip the bread over during baking -- flip it over so the honey-butter side is up when you serve it though.

Tips:

  • Use a day-old baguette or French bread for the best results. This will help the bread to absorb the egg mixture and custard without becoming soggy.
  • If you don't have a baking dish, you can use a large skillet or griddle instead. Just be sure to grease the pan well so that the French toast doesn't stick.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the egg mixture, such as spices, vanilla extract, or even fruit. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
  • Be careful not to overcook the French toast. It should be cooked until it is golden brown and cooked through, but not dry.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Honey-baked French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. It is perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will impress your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a new breakfast idea, give honey-baked French toast a try.
