FRENCH TOAST

I love french toast but I feel its a commitment ordering it at a restaurant.  Large thick cuts of soft bread, soaked in an eggy batter then browned in butter and drizzled with maple syrup and sprinkled with powder sugar.  Huuhh, its tiring just talking about it.  Nevertheless I love it and I like cooking it at home for my family.
French toast is viewed differently in different countries.  In North America, Europe and Bermuda it's eaten for breakfast.
In Portugal and Brazil it's enjoyed for dessert at Christmas time.
In Italy it's a savory dish stuffed with fresh mozzarella.
Mine at home I like to make it like this.

1/2 Loaf of thick cut napp bread, about 1-1/2 inch thick
7 eggs
1/4 cup orange juice
1 TBL cinnamon
1 T brown sugar
2 T butter

Beat eggs, orange juice, cinnamon and brown sugar.  Heat a nonstick pan on med low and add butter to melt.  Soak both sides of sliced bread in egg mixture then place in hot pan with melted butter.  Brown on both sides.
Serve hot with warm pure maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
