     3 ts Grated orange rind

   3/4 c  Orange juice

     1 ts Vanilla

     8    Bread slices,French/Italian

     2 tb Sesame seeds

 1. Thoroughly blend eggs, milk, geated orange rind, juice and vanilla.

 2. Pour half the egg mixture into buttered 13x9x2-inch baking dish.

 3. Place bread slices in egg mixture (trim larger slices to fit or use

 smaller slices to fill in).

 4. Pour remaining egg mixture over bread; cover dish and refrigerate

 several hours or overnight.

 5. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sesame seeds over soaked bread slices.

 6. In large skillet over low heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter; cook 4 bread

 slices, seeded side down, until lightly browned, about 7 to 9 minutes.

 7. Sprinkle with half the remaining sesame seeds; turn and continue cooking

 until lightly browned on other side.

 8. Repeat with remaining toast.

 9. If desired, garnish with orange rind strips and serve hot with

 confectioners' sugar, preserves or syrup (optional).

 NOTE: Pain Perdu, or lost bread, is an economical egg dish; use stale

 French bread that you may otherwise discard. Creoles relish this

 crisp-coated treat as a breakfast of brunch dish. It's often served in the

 Latin Quarter with a warm cup of cafe au lait.
