Baked Orange French Toast Casserole layers cinnamon-raisin bread in a custard infused with fresh orange juice, zest, and a splash of liqueur for a bright, citrusy finish. The bread bakes up tender inside with lightly crisped edges, perfect for dusting with confectioners’ sugar and drizzling with warm maple syrup. Ideal for weekend brunches or holiday mornings when you’re feeding a crowd.

1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease two large baking sheets, or line them with parchment paper lightly coated with cooking spray to prevent the bread from sticking.
2

In a bowl, whisk the eggs until pale. Add the milk, sugar, orange liqueur, orange juice, orange zest, orange extract, salt, and nutmeg, whisking until fully combined.
3

Dip the bread slices in the egg custard to coat, then arrange them on the baking sheets without overlapping. Bake until golden brown, flipping halfway through, about 15 minutes.

To serve, dust with confectioners sugar and drizzle with maple syrup.
