      Yield: 6 servings 
  
      6    Eggs, slightly beaten               1    Loaf French Bread 
    1/2 pt (1 cup) whipping cream                   Butter, margarine or cooking 
      1 c  Orange juice                             -oil 
      1    To 1 1/2 ounces Orange                   Powdered sugar 
           -Liqueur                        
  
  *  Mix eggs, whipping cream and orange juice.  Then add liqueur to taste. 
  Pour into large casserole or glass baking dish. 
   
  Remove ends from the bread and cut loaf into 12-15 slices, each about 3/4" 
  thick.  Place slices in egg mixture and let stand for a few minutes to 
  absorb some of the liquid; then turn so the other side of the bread can 
  absorb some of the mixture. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate 
  until you are ready to prepare the French Toast.  Some cooks soak the bread 
  in the egg mixture overnight, refrigerated so that it becomes almost 
  custardlike in texture.

  Preheat heavy skillet or electric griddle to 325-350 degrees. Melt butter, 
  margarine or place oil in skillet.  Place four or five slices in to cook, 
  but do not crowd.  Cook on one side until golden brown, turn and cook on 
  the other side.  Remove and keep warm while you cook remaining slices, 
  adding more oil or butter as needed. Place toast on serving plates and dust 
  with powered sugar.  Garnish with fresh fruit, if desired, and serve with 
  honey, jam or syrup of your choice.  Yields 4-5 Serv.
