Baked Stuffed Orange French Toast

---

This is one of our favorites... It's great for christmas morning! It's got all the christmasy flavors, and it's assembled the night before. you can use any kind of marmalade/jam for the filling. I have used regular and sugar free jams. you can also use light cream cheese, 2% milk in place of the cream, egg beaters in place of the eggs... To lighten it up a bit. hope it becomes one of your family traditions!!
