Only warning I'd give is that if you are using whole slices instead of stars (or cutouts of any kind) then you need to double the recipe as there was not enough egg mix for the slices of bread I was trying to cook. Even still - my third slice had smidges of the egg mix and it was still most excellent. My husband and I have both shied away from french toast because we had too many soggy bread versions as kids. This, however, had fantastic flavor and was cooked through so no complaints on either of our parts and we are now lovers of french toast!

The best french toast recipe. Do not change a thing. I used the French Brioche recipe from this website and it was an outstanding combination!!

Yummy! My kids loved these! I left the french toast whole instead of cutting them into stars.

This is by far the best french toast I've ever had. I made it for a holiday brunch and it was the hit of the party.

I woke up this morning not knowing what to eat and I came across this recipe. Fortunately, i had all the ingredients minus the orange zest lying around so i tried it. This is such an easy recipe and the taste is pretty good. I only used 4 slices of wheat bread to make it a little healthier and I cut each slice into four pieces. I let them sit for a while in the mixture and that's probably why I only used 4 slices. But i would do this again because the slices were juicy and warm and really soft. I didn't use the orange zest but I definitely can see how it would taste good. The honey is a nice touch to it as well. I also recommend to leave the temp on med-low so that it doesn't burn because they cook fast. Overall it was delicious and I will probably make some more and put them in the freezer for my boyfriend to just microwave and eat in the mornings.

we loved this recipe. small changes that i made include using half the salt, didn't have orange zest so used extract, also doubled the cinnamon. served this with the best ever pancake syrup from this site. only thick bread that i had was barbecue bread and it worked great. with that type of bread recipe only coated four pieces.

This is the BEST french toast recipe I have ever tried! I left the orange zest out...I don't think I'd like it with it. I made them into finger slices and cooked on low like some of the other posters suggested. They turned out perfect and I will be making these again!

Although I chose not to cut the bread into star shapes, I did follow the recipe to a "T". I loved the orange flavor, although I think I may cut it in half next time. My family enjoyed this recipe and we'll keep it as a regular.

I did modify this recipe a lot, but I still believe it is worthy of the five stars. I craved them all day long after breakfast! Okay, my dh doesn't like sweet things usually with his eggs or french toast. He prefers the savoury flavour. I decided to make these, modifying for his taste and I used 5 kid's size eggs (500g), half a cup of thickened cream, 1/4 cup organic, unhomogenized milk, 1 tblspn of honey, 1/8 tsp cinnamon, the grated zest of one small orange, about 1/4 tsp (to get a tblspn is heaps!) and a small squeeze of the juice into egg/cream mix. I more or less, only added small amounts of the honey and spices, so he would like it. He told me later that it was alright, but he likes just plain egg and milk better. I LOVED IT!!!! Seriously, I would not like it any sweeter than what I had it, and my dd didn't like it either, but ds and I loved it.

Very tasty. I've made these twice in one week. Nearly followed the recipe exactly the first time, except that I substituted orange extract for the zest and used a little less salt. They were delicious. I'm not a huge french toast fan and I liked them. Even my three picky kids liked them. Second time I made them, I was out of cream, so I substituted whole milk--just as wonderful. Husband, who tried the lower fat version, said this is the BEST FRENCH TOAST he has ever had. I used King's Hawaiian Bread. Very easy to whip up.

The kids and I liked this alright. My kids found more greatness in the french toast being that they were shaped as stars. I liked that they ate their breakfast without complaint. I might keep the star idea for next time and use a different french toast dip.

I didn't cut them into stars, and I added a little milk to thin it out and stretch it for my family. We love them, but probably because it is very similar to the one I have been making for years. I just don't add honey and orange zest to my original recipe.

Wow! This is fantastic french toast! I made little stars and some other shapes for my boys and gave them strawberry yogurt to dip them in. I just made it regular for me and ate it with the "absolute best pancake syrup" from here because its my favorite and it was soooo good. I will definitely be using this recipe again!

Used Orange Honey instead of adding in orange zest and it turned out just great! Probably not as orange-y in flavor, but still yummy.
