Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 8 slices Thick-sliced bread (such as brioche or challah)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, orange juice, orange zest, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 3

Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated, but do not let it soak for too long as it may become soggy.

Step 4

Carefully place the coated bread slice onto the preheated skillet. Repeat with additional slices, but do not overcrowd the pan.

Step 5

Cook each slice for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked French toast slices to a plate and keep warm. Add more butter to the pan as needed and repeat steps with remaining bread slices.

Step 7

To serve, dust the French toast with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup. Optionally, garnish with orange slices or extra orange zest for a decorative touch.

Step 8

Enjoy your Orange French Toast warm!
