Orange Spiced French Toast

Whenever we have the Elder's over I try to do something a little different.  I remember as a missionary all the yummy dinners I got for the 3 months I was off the square, but sometimes I really just wanted a good breakfast that wasn't cold cereal (even though I could eat that for any meal).  Usually, there was just not enough time to make a gourmet breakfast.  So often we will make them breakfast for dinner!!

So last week we made french toast with a little twist, orange spiced french toast!  It was a huge hit! Needless to say we topped it off with some fabulous Buttermilk syrup 

Ingredients:
2 large eggs
1 cup half & half or heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange peel (optional) 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, but highly recommended!!!)
8 slices raisin or cinnamon bread, halved diagonally

Directions:

In large bowl, using wire whisk, beat eggs, half & half, sugar, orange juice, orange peel, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg until blended. Dip bread in egg mixture.

Cook on griddle or frying pan and enjoy!
