Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
French Toast:
- 8 slices brioche or challah bread
- 2 tablespoons butter (for frying)
- powdered sugar and whipped cream (for serving)
- orange slices (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, orange juice, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, orange zest, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
- French Toast: Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Let excess drip off, then place onto the heated skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter as needed. Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, and optional orange slices.
Notes
- Brioche or challah bread works best for its rich, fluffy texture.
- You can substitute half-and-half for the cream if preferred.
- Add a splash of orange liqueur to the batter for a more intense flavor.
