Ingrédients

4 eggs

2/3 cup milk

2 teaspoons cinnamon

8 thick slices 2-day-old bread (better if slightly stale)

Butter (can sub vegetable oil)

Maple syrup

Optional

2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest

1/4 cup Triple Sec

Fresh berries

Instructions

Make the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon. Stir in the orange zest and/or triple sec if using. Whisk the mixture until well blended and pour into a shallow bowl, wide enough to place a slice of the bread you will be using. Simply Recipes / Annika Panikker

Soak the bread slices in egg mixture: Place each slice of bread into the milk egg mixture, allowing the bread to soak in some of it. Simply Recipes / Annika PanikkerSimply Recipes / Annika Panikker

Fry the French toast: Melt some butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Shake off the excess egg mixture from the bread and place the bread slices onto the hot skillet. Fry the French toast until browned on one side, then flip and brown the other side. Simply Recipes / Annika PanikkerSimply Recipes / Annika Panikker
