Good morning all!! Growing up my Dad had one specialty meal– his Sunday morning French toast. He’d put on his Sunday morning music and cook away while Mom got 4 kids ready for church.
So here’s a recipe that’s so simple , it’s more of a tip than a recipe! But it really kicks up the flavor or your Sunday morning French toast! I think you’ll like it!
ORANGE MAPLE FRENCH TOAST
1 loaf French bread
3 eggs
1/2 cup whole milk (or half & half)
3 tab. grated orange peel (about 1 orange)
1/4 cup maple syrup
Slice the French bread into 1 inch slices. Set aside.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, grated orange peel and maple syrup.
Heat the griddle to medium heat and spray with cooking spray (or use butter if you’re feeling indulgent!). Dip both sides of each bread slice in the egg mixture and cook just about a minute on each side.
Store the cooked slices in a low oven until they are all cooked. Serve with butter and more maple syrup!! Delicious!
