Haitian French Toast

Directions

Cut loaf ends from bread/reserve.

Cut remaining loaf into 1½ inch thick slices and let stand uncovered, 4 hours to overnight.

In 9×13 inch pan, combine orange juice, cream, eggs, cinnamon, sugar and nutmeg.

With a wire whip, whisk until well blended.

Lay bread in pan.

Turn several times until all liquid is absorbed, 3 to 5 minutes.

Melt butter in 12 to 14 inch frying pan over medium heat.

Put soaked bread into frying pan.

Cook, turning as needed, until richly browned on both sides (5 minutes).

Dust with powdered sugar.
