1
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, place the applewood smoked bacon slices. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

2
Mix Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and orange zest until well combined.

3
Soak the Bread
Dip each slice of thick bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds until well coated.
4
Cook the French Toast
In the same skillet used for the bacon, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the soaked bread slices on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

5
Plate and Enjoy
Serve the French toast warm with crispy bacon on the side and drizzle with maple syrup to taste.
