I was going to post this recipe & found this one on review. This is a GREAT RECIPE and a long standing favorite with our friends & family. One friend PLEAS for this EVERY time she comes to visit!It is as great for breakfast for a group of people as for 2 (though actually easier to prepare for a group)! The prep the night before makes it ideal for entertaining. We cook up bacon & sausage first & use 2 large skillets to get everyone served with hot crispy french toast at once. I do add 1/4 teaspoon of grated nutmeg & orange zest & increase the cream to about 1 1/2 cups but otherwise no changes except we tend to cut the bread abit thicker - 3cm or about 1.25 inches. The Cointreau makes it awesome! Think I will try the sauce this weekend for 6 of us! Thank you for posting!

I live in St. Albert,Alberta moved here from
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia in Dec.2001 as my
significant other George is in the Air Force
here. My two daughters and four grandchildren are back home in N.S. so I miss home very much,if there are any other
Nova Scotians out there,I would love to hear
from you. For fun I love Garage Sales,Flea Markets,collecting dishes,shopping,going out
to a nice restaurant for dinner. Don't have
a favorite cookbook,just love looking @ all
recipes & finding ones that sound good enough to try. Love animals,we have two cats. If I had a month off I would go visit
my family and would love to go to Europe,so I guess a month wouldn't be enough unless I could take my family to Europe with me. Guess I'll just have to win the lottery!!!
