Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 8 thick slices of 2-day-old bread
- Butter
- Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
- 1/4 cup Triple Sec
- Fresh berries
Directions
- Beat the eggs, milk, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add the orange zest, the Triple Sec, or both, if you’re using them, and whisk until everything is smooth and even. Pour the mixture into a shallow bowl that is wide enough for your bread.
- Set each bread slice into the egg mixture and let it absorb some of the custard.
- Warm some butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Lift the bread out of the mixture, letting the extra drip off, then lay the slices in the hot skillet. Cook the French toast until the first side is browned, then turn it over and brown the other side.
- Serve hot with butter, maple syrup, and fresh berries if you have them.
