| 12 slices | Wright® Brand Applewood Bacon |
| ½ cup | Maple Syrup |
| ½ teaspoon | Orange Extract |
| 1 tablespoon | Orange Zest |
| 6 | Eggs |

| 2 teaspoons | Ground Cinnamon |

- Cook 12 slices of Wright® Brand Applewood Bacon according to package directions. Allow to cool slightly, then break or cut each strip in half and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, orange extract, and orange zest; set aside.
- In a shallow dish or pie pan, beat eggs, cream, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt, until blended.
- Dip the edges of 12 slices of Texas toast in the egg mixture. Add four half-pieces of bacon to the center of six slices of the Texas toast, and then top with the remaining slices of Texas toast, to make six "sandwiches." Pinch the edges of each sandwich to seal.
- Working with one sandwich at a time, dip both outer sides of each sandwich into the egg mixture and then cook in a skillet over medium-high heat, flipping halfway through, for a total of 2-3 minutes or until nicely toasted.
- Place the French toast sandwiches on a plate, slice diagonally, drizzle with the syrup mixture and enjoy!
