Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- 4 slices of bread (French bread, brioche, or your favorite type)
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Optional toppings: Orange zest, maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh orange slices
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, orange juice, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon (if using) until well combined.
Coat the Bread
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let the bread soak in the mixture for a few seconds to absorb the flavors.
Cook the French Toast
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Place the coated bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook each slice for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve
Transfer the cooked French toast to a serving plate. Optionally, garnish with orange zest for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. Serve with fresh orange slices on the side.
