    Mother's Day: Fabulous French Toast

    Source of Recipe


    From "The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook"

    List of Ingredients


    • 5 eggs
    • 2/3 cup heavy or whipping cream
    • 1/3 cup Triple Sec
    • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
    • Finely grated zest of 1 orange
    • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 6 plain stale croissants, cut lengthwise in half
    • 6 Tbsp (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
    • Confectioners' sugar


    Instructions


    1. Beat the eggs and cream together. Add the Triple Sec, granulated sugar, orange zest, and cinnamon and whisk until well blended. Pour into a shallow bowl or pie plate.

    2. Dip each croissant half in the egg mixture, turning once. Melt a few tablespoons of the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add as many croissants as will fit and fry until golden on both sides. Repeat with the remaining croissants, adding butter to the skillet as needed.

    3. Sift confectioners' sugar over the croissants. Serve immediately.

      Makes 6 portions.
