Honey Baked French Toast

This was so easy that my husband made it and didn't even complain once!! He even doubled it up and talked about how quick it was to make it the second time once he knew how to do it. It had a wonderful taste to it and we all loved it, but it didn't make very much even with a double batch...



Honey Baked French Toast

1/2 stick unsalted butter
3 tablespoons honey
2/3 cup orange juice
4 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
pinch of nutmeg
6 thick slices of french or italian bread

Heat oven to 375. Put butter and honey into a 9x13 glass pan. heat in oven until butter melts and honey is bubbling, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and stir well. In another baking dish, whisk together juice, eggs, spices and salt. Dip bread in, turning it once to coat well, let soak about 2 minutes per side, then carefully set each piece of bread into the honey buttered pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until well browned. (Be careful, the bottom browns much darker then the top!!) Before serving, flip over each piece sot hat the honey butter side is up.
