Steps

1Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
2Add the eggs, half and half, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, vanilla, and orange zest to a mixing bowl. Whisk together until everything is well combined.
3Transfer the custard mixture to a shallow dish, like a 9 inch pie dish or 9×13 baking dish. Gently whisk again to ensure that all the spices are incorporated and haven’t sunk to the bottom.
4Dip the slices of bread into the custard and let them soak for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, depending on the thickness of the bread.
5While the bread is soaking heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the butter and let melt.
6Remove the bread from the custard mixture and let any excess custard mixture drip off.
7Cook the French toast on medium-low heat for 2-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and place the French toast slices on a wire rack in the oven to keep warm while you fry the remaining slices.
8Serve the French toast with powdered sugar, fresh berries, and maple syrup.
