3 tablespoons orange zest
3 tablespoons orange juice
Maple syrup to drizzle on top, optional
Arrange bread in a lightly greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan; set aside.
Beat with a whisk your eggs, milk, half and half, cinnamon, orange zest and orange juice in a mixing bowl; pour over bread. Dot your cranberry sauce down over the top. Cover and refrigerate overnight or pop in the oven immediately.
The next morning, remove from fridge, pop in the oven and bake 45 to 55 minutes. (Check after about 30 minutes and if it’s getting to brown on top, cover with foil and continue cooking.)
Remove from oven let stand 5 minutes before serving. You can drizzle maple syrup down over top if you like :).

I always make a french toast casserole for Christmas morning… this will be a perfect new recipe to try! My husband loves anything cranberry/orange. As always… thank you!!!
