6 large eggs
2.5 cups whole milk
4 tsp sugar
¾ tsp salt
1 Tbs vanilla
1 oz orange juice

Grease 9x13 pan with spray or butter. Arrange bread slices in single layer, pushing all together. Mix all other ingredients and pour over bread in pan. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hrs – 36 hrs. To bake, uncover and place in cold oven. Turn on oven to 350 and bake 45-60 min, until bread is puffy and lightly browned. Remove from oven and let stand 5 min before serving. Serve with syrup, honey, yogurt or sour cream and fresh fruit.
