Six 1-inch slices of French bread
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup orange marmalade
3 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp cinnamon
Dash of ground nutmeg
2 Tbsp butter or margarine

-- Orange Syrup --
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter
1 (6-oz.) can frozen orange juice concentrate

Recipe
Cut across the top crust side of the bread and cut a pocket in each slice. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese and the orange marmalade. (Mixture should not be soupy.) Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into every pocket.
In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg until combined. Dip stuffed bread slices into egg mixture.
For the orange syrup: In a small saucepan, combine sugar, 1 cup butter and orange juice concentrate. Place over low heat until butter is melted. Do not boil. Remove from heat and cool 5 to 10 minutes. Beat until slightly thickened; keep warm.
Heat 2 tablespoons butter or margarine on a griddle, and add the stuffed bread slices. Fry over medium heat until golden brown, turning once.
Serve with warm orange syrup and garnish with orange slice and powdered sugar.
Makes 8 slices,
1-1/2 cups orange syrup.
