Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 250°F.
  • In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat all the glaze ingredients together until smooth. Remove to a zip top bag and set aside.
  • In a wide shallow bowl, combine all the cinnamon sugar ingredients.
  • In a large shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, orange zest, vanilla, honey, and salt. Soak as many slices in the egg mixture as possible for 5 minutes, turning once.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a very large sauté pan or griddle over medium heat. Add the soaked bread and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until well browned.
  • Remove the French toast from the pan and immediately dip in the cinnamon sugar, turning to coat completely. Remove to a sheet pan and keep it warm in the oven until ready to serve.
  • Fry the remaining soaked bread slices, adding butter and oil as needed, until it’s all cooked.
  • Remove the warm French toast slices to plates. Snip a small hole in the corner of the zip top bag filled with the cream cheese glaze. Drizzle over the French toast and serve immediately.

Notes

For a twist, add grated orange zest to the glaze. This dish can be served with fresh fruit for added flavor. Make sure to keep the cooked French toast warm in the oven until serving.
