Orange French Toast Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 2/3 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated orange zest
- 8 slices of thick white bread
Directions:
- Place bread slices in a flat bottomed dish (a large casserole dish would be great for this.)
- Next up – whisk together the eggs, milk, orange juice, orange zest, vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon in another dish.
- Pour that combined egg mixture over the bread, and refrigerate until bread absorbs the liquid. This will be about 10 minutes.
- Now spray cooking spray in a large non-stick skillet. Heat over medium heat.
- Place soaked bread in the heated skillet. Cook on both sides, until golden, about 3 minutes per side.
- Place on a plate and drizzle with some syrup.
- Add whipped cream and more grated zest on top of your french toast, for an extra tasty treat.
- Finally enjoy your delicious Orange French Toast!
- Then repeat over and over again, for years to come!
