This was especially yummy and cooked up beautifully (even if we didn't cut into shapes). We like our french toast a little on the sweet side, so I added about a tblsp of white sugar and 1/4 tsp of nutmeg. The orange zest really makes the difference. I used Texas toast and the recipe only made 4 fluffy slices, which was perfect for my husband and me. But you might want to increase recipe if you are feeding more :-)!

Definitely restaurant quality! My husband requests them constantly now. When I don't have fresh orange zest I use juice. The honey, orange and vanilla combo is superb. A definite keeper in my house.

My family couldn't get enough of these so next time I think I will double the recipe. I also used dried orange zest and it turned out great.

These were excellent. I found a bottle of dried orange zest in the spice island - more convenient than zesting an orange! Since these were cooked in butter, they didn't need butter spread to them after the fact - just some syrup!

This was absolutely delicious! I used regular whole wheat bread. My son who doesn't like anything ate these without syrup in about 5 minutes. It usually takes him an hour and a ton of threats for him to finish any meal. My husband (who doesn't like anything against the norm), loved these. Definitely add the orange zest, my picky eaters weren't scared off and it definitely made a beautiful difference in the taste.

Very good. Though I would prefer a little more cinnamon. I also used dried orange peel instead of orange zest. Wonderful dish.

I have always loved French toast. It is, without a doubt, my favorite thing to order from a breakfast restaurant. I've wondered many times why it never tastes quite the same when I make it at home. This recipe is to die for perfect. I used hearts instead of stars and made a butterfly using two hearts and bacon for my daughters. It was a huge hit with them and a huge hit with me! Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

i thought this recipe looked yummy & made it as directed aside from not cutting out the star shapes & only serving it with warm maple syrup. i love oranges but felt their flavor was a little overpowering here. my boyfriend liked the taste much less then i did but he managed to devour his portion plus swipe another piece from my plate (hmmmm). i'll try this again sometime but will cut the orange zest back to 2 teaspoons. thanks yasmeeen!

I will definately be making these again. The only change I made was to add more vanilla and that's just a taste preference. One of the best french toast recipes I've ever used.

The orange zest and honey in this recipe makes it a keeper. I used leftover challah bread and it was perfect!

This was the best french toast I have ever tried. We all loved it. We bought a loaf of Italian bread and sliced it in thick slices. We didn't cut the bread into shapes, but it was still fantastic.

I loved the taste of it! be sure to cook them over low heat though - they'll burn quickly if it's set too high

Delicious - I followed this recipe using thick sliced cinnamon orange bread from our grocery store bakery and prepared as regular french toast (did not cut into shapes). The entire family loved it - nice delicate orange flavor. Thanks for this keeper!

This was fabulous. I was soo bored with the same old french toast. Don't be scared by the amount of honey, I started out with only 1 tbsp and after the first slice quickly added the other tbsp. They were not too sweet at all. I used light bread and half&half instead of heavy cream. They came out great. You have to cook them at a low heat because of all the honey or they will burn quickly. Definitely a keeper.
