- Turn the bread slices over and bake for an additional 5 to 8 minutes or until golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For optimal texture, use day-old French bread as it absorbs the egg mixture better without becoming soggy. If you need a dairy-free option, substitute skim milk with almond or oat milk. To enhance flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg alongside cinnamon. This dish is versatile, so feel free to experiment with different extracts, like almond or maple, for a unique twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful French toast slices with a drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. For a refreshing contrast, pair with fresh fruit or a side of Cranberry Whipped Cream Salad. They also pair beautifully with an Amaretto Fruit Dip for a sweet touch, making for a wonderful breakfast or brunch option.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the French toast slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. This method will help maintain their texture without making them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole eggs instead of a beaten egg?
Yes, you can use a whole egg instead of a beaten egg. However, using just the egg white or a beaten egg will yield a lighter texture. If you prefer more richness in flavor, stick to the slightly beaten egg as the recipe suggests.
What can I use instead of orange juice?
If you don't have orange juice on hand, you can substitute it with apple juice or even a splash of milk mixed with a bit of lemon juice for a tangy flavor. Each alternative will slightly alter the taste, but they will still work well to keep the dish moist.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Absolutely! To make this French toast gluten-free, simply use gluten-free bread. Ensure that all other ingredients, especially the cornstarch and honey, are labeled gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
