French Canadian Breakfast

In honor of the 2010 Olympic Games, I decided an olympian size breakfast was appropriate.  Well, I took huge poetic license with calling this a French Canadian Breakfast.  So let's just say it was delicious and every aspect worked together. 

Orange-Cinnamon French Toast

adapted from http://www.cooking.com/

4 T. butter, melted

2 T. honey

1/2 t. ground cinnamon

3 eggs

1/2 cup orange juice

1/8 t. salt

6 thick cut slices of French Bread

In a bowl, combine butter, honey and cinnamon.  Pour into a greased 13 x 9 x 2 baking pan.  Spread to coat bottom of pan evenly.  In a shallow bowl, beat eggs, orange juice and salt.  Dip bread slices one piece at a time into egg mixture and leave for a few seconds to soak in the eggy goodness.  Place into prepared baking pan. 

Bake at 400 degrees for 16 - 18 minutes or until golden brown.  Top with additional honey (or maple syrup) and orange zest. 

Sit back, smile and accept compliments graciously.
