  1. Wow, was this french toast ever good, I can't believe the flavor, it was excellent. The toast was light, fluffy and perfectly cooked, simply wonderful. I garnished the french toast with a little icing sugar, that was all it needed. Served with recipe #502824 and sliced oranges for a wonderful breakfast, that I will enjoy again and again. Thanks so much for sharing a new favorite. Made for ZWT9 - Hot Pink Panthers on the Prowl.
     
  2. I used a leftover of baguette to do this recipe. And for the orange liqueur I used Triple Sec. Great recipe. We liked it a lot. Thanks Lynn :) Made for ZWT9
     
  3. This was excellent, Lavender Lynn. The addition of the orange liqueur and orange zest took this recipe to a new height. I used a dense Italian bread, so each slice would soak up the mixture nicely, and it was great. I wouldn't hesitate to serve this to company. Made for ZWT9 (Cajun/Creole).
     
  4. The flavor of this was great! I used Recipe #114709 for the bread, and found that it really didn't soak in the egg mixture at all like a store bought bread would have - the egg was only just on the outside and the middle was plain bread, but that was my choice of ingredient's fault and not the recipe. :) For ZWT9
