This is the best French toast recipe I have ever had. It takes a little preparation (mostly just remembering to do it the night before), but it is so worth it. Common sense would tell you that the bread would be a soggy mess in the morning, but if you handle the bread carefully, you will have the best French toast on earth. I grew up with this recipe, and frankly, it has spoiled me to other French toast recipes. It was my fathers recipe.

SERVES 4 , 8 slices (change servings and units)

Ingredients

8 slices French bread (sliced to 1/2-inch)
1 tablespoon sugar
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons orange juice (or to make it extra fancy, Grand Marnier)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
powdered sugar

Directions

1
Arrange bread in glass baking dishes in a single layer.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, vanilla, milk, salt and OJ.
3
Pour over bread.
4
Gently turn the bread to coat both sides of bread with liquid.
5
Cover and refrigerate overnight.
6
In hot butter in skillet, sauté bread until golden brown, about 4 minutes each side.
