BAKED STUFFED ORANGE FRENCH TOAST



Baked Stuffed Orange French Toast image

This is one of our favorites... it's great for Christmas morning! It's got all the Christmasy flavors, and it's assembled the night before. You can use any kind of marmalade/jam for the filling. I have used regular and sugar free jams. You can also use light cream cheese, 2% milk in place of the cream, egg beaters in place of the eggs... to lighten it up a bit. Hope it becomes one of your family traditions!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread for the strata. A sturdy bread like French bread or sourdough will hold up well and absorb the custard mixture.
  • Don't overfill the baking dish. The strata will rise as it bakes, so leave some room at the top of the dish.
  • Bake the strata until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
  • Serve the strata warm with orange syrup and fresh fruit.
  • To make the orange syrup, simply whisk together equal parts orange juice and sugar. You can also add a little bit of orange zest for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Stuffed French toast strata with orange syrup is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning.
