Honey Baked French Toast

4 T unsalted butter
3 T honey
2/3 cup orange juice
4 large eggs
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
pinch of nutmeg
6 (1/2 to 3/4 inch) think slices of French Bread, Italian bread, or challah

Heat oven to 375.

Put butter and honoey into 9x 13 baking dish and heat in oven until butter melts and honey is bubbling, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and stir well.

In another baking dish, whisk together juice, eggs, spices, and salt. dip bread in, turning it once to coat well, let soak about 2 minutes per side. Carefully set each piece of bread into the honey-buttered pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until well browned.

Before serving, flip over each piece so the honey-butter side is up.
