1. In a food processor or blender, process the orange sections for 1 min. Add the eggs, egg whites, milk, sugar, liqueur, orange rind, vanilla, and salt; process 1 min.

2. In a shallow dish, arrange all the bread in a single layer. Pour the egg mixture over bread, cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate, and let stand for at least 30 mins or overnight, turning once.

3. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt 1 Tbs butter over moderate heat. Cook 4 slices of the bread for 3 mins on each side or until brown. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread. Top with the berries and confectioner's sugar, also the syrup if you wish. Makes 8 slices.
