Sheet Pan Orange French Toast

This is another recipe from my mom’s kitchen. She used to make it on Christmas morning as a simple, hands-off way to avoid the kitchen and spend time with the family. Thick slices of French bread soak up a lightly citrus-scented custard and bake quickly in the oven for an easy, no-fuss meal. It is SO good!
