Preheat oven to 250º.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, orange zest, vanilla, honey and salt. Slice the challah in ¾ inch thick slices. Soak as many slices in the egg mixture as possible for 5 minutes, turning once.

Heat 1 T butter and 1 T oil in a very large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the soaked bread and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until nicely brown.
