OJ French Toast

Inspired by our leftover heavy cream and french bread (from our cheesesteaks), H made a delicious breakfast of french toast with an orange juice twist.  Pulled from the depths of allrecipes.com, this is definitely a winner.  The key is marinating the bread for at least 5 minutes to absorb the orange flavor.  It's best if you sing songs while you wait.   Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:
1 French baguette
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup white sugar
1 dash ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:
1.  Cut loaf ends off and reserve for another use. Cut remaining loaf into 1 1/2 inch slices; let stand 4 hours or overnight.
2.  In a 9x13 inch baking pan, combine orange juice, cream, eggs ground cinnamon and white sugar. Place bread slices in pan and turn until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
3.  In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add bread slices and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Dust generously with confectioners' sugar and serve warm.
