Orange Infused French Toast

        Orange Infused French Toast

                                               

Brock just started having weekends off (yay!) so I wanted to make something special for Sunday morning breakfast. My mom would always make this French toast for special occasions (can you tell I learned how to cook from my mom?). This was always so yummy. Even though it's heavy French toast, the orange flavor really lightens it up. If your having people over for the weekend or just by yourself this is what you should make for breakfast, or lunch, or dinner, I won’t judge.

Thanks mom for the recipe!

What you need:

4 large eggs

½ cup of milk or any substitute for milk

½ vanilla

½ tsp of cinnamon

1 tbsp of orange zest

Juice of a whole orange

7-8 pieces of bread (you can use regular bed, sourdough, or French bread, whatever!)

Powdered Sugar for topping

More orange zest for topping

What you need to do:

1.  In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, orange zest and orange juice until evenly combined.

2. Soak 2-3 bread slices (however many you can fit into your mixing bowl) until soaked through.

3. Using a large frying pan over medium heat place soaked bread slices and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side.

4. Repeat with remaining bread slices.

5. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and orange zest. Serve with your favorite maple syrup! You can also add some fresh strawberries, chopped nuts, or whatever your heart desires! 

Enjoy and happy eating!
