This was excellent. Since there are only two of us, I cut the eggs down to 2 and used only 1 cup of half and half. I only let the bread soak for a few seconds on each side to avoid sogginess. Also, I used sliced sourdough. Wonderful.

My hushand and I loved this. We couldn't find the Challah bread, so we used thick sliced white bread instead. I had never thought of using grated orange zest in french toast - but we both really loved the fresh taste it added.

This was sooo good. Of course I couldn't find challah bread, so I used Hawaiian bread. It turned out wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

I just got the Barefoot Contessa Family Style Cookbook and tried this recipe. We loved it; it was the best french toast I've ever had. I made the recipe as written, and it turned out fabulous. The outside was a nice golden brown while the inside was creamy and custard-like. If you don't like it that soft on the inside, I would recommend not soaking it for too long as the bread does absorb quite a lot of the egg mixture. I think what makes this recipe special is the challah and the orange zest. Yummy!
