French Toast Casserole

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp almond extract
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Directions

• In a large bowl whisk together eggs, almond milk, orange juice, vanilla, almond extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup.
• Place half of the mixture into a shallow dish. Add bread 4 slices at a time and allow to soak for 2 minutes on each side.

• Repeat with the remaining 4 slices and egg mixture.
• Serve immediately with maple syrup, fruit or toppings of choice.
