This gets 10 stars as far as I'm concerned!! Made exactly as written and I'd never change a thing. We only got 6 servings however. Thanks for sharing!

My family uses a similar recipe, but with corn syrup and without the orange- we call it Skier's Toast. It is delish. I look forward to trying it with an orange flavor.

My sister-in-law made this for our family Christmas get together brunch and it was wonderful! She used corn syrup instead of honey and cut her 6 1-inch thick slices from the center portion of an 8-9 inch round loaf of country style bread (crusts trimmed), and everyone, including my extremely picky daughter loved it! She served hers caramel side down, which I think made a prettier presentaton, but I'm sure the taste was all the same - fantastic! By the way, the recipe posted here doesn't mention that the vanilla should be included in step 5. Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to make this for my family at home!

My family loved this recipe. It was soooo good. I used normal wheat bread because that's all we had, but I felt the texture would have been better with challah. Since my family loves cinnamon, I added a little on top. My mom agreed that it was even better with the cinnamon. Next time I'll put it in the with the egg mixture.
