Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-sliced brioche bread
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 6 slices Fresh orange slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, fresh orange juice, orange zest, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly soaked.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Place 3 slices of coated brioche into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining slices, adding the second tablespoon of butter as needed.
Transfer the cooked French toast to serving plates and drizzle each slice with honey.
Dust the French toast with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh orange slices, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the bright, citrusy flavors of your Sunshine French Toast!
