Orange Cream French Toast




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




3 eggs
3/4 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons orange zest
2 teaspoons sugar
pinch salt
2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
12 slices rustic country bread, or thick white bread
1/4 cup butter, melted
butter, softened
powdered sugar
maple syrup or heated orange marmalade (optional)



Recipe



Whisk the eggs together in a medium bowl. Whisk in the cream, orange juice, orange zest, sugar, salt, liqueur and vanilla.

Heat a griddle or a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, dip the bread slices into the egg and milk mixture, one at a time. Let the liquid soak into the bread for a few seconds, turning to coat both sides. Brush the griddle with melted butter and place the bread on the griddle or in the skillet. Fry each slice for about 2 minutes each side, or until golden brown. Brush the griddle or skillet again with butter when turning the bread. Repeat with remaining slices of bread. Reduce the heat as needed to prevent burning the bread.

To serve, place a knob of butter on top of the French toast and dust with powdered sugar. Serves 4 to 6. Suggestion: Serve with Café au Lait.

Option: Serve with warmed maple syrup or orange marmalade.
