This is a two day process as you have to refrigerate it overnight before making it for breakfast the next day. But, well worth it!!

1tbsp butter
12 slices of French bread
8 large eggs
2 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
1tsp vanilla
1tsp orange extract
1tsp grated orange
1/4tsp salt

Spread butter in a 14inch by 8inch by 2inch pan. Arrange bread slices in a single layer. Combine remaining ingredients and beat together. Pour over bread, then turn the bread to coat evenly. Refrigerate overnight.
Place on highest rack and bake at 2350F for 25-30 minutes or until top is light golden brown and puffy.
Turn slices over and bake an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with favorite syrup.
