Best French Toast
INGREDIENTES:
6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
Juice of 1 medium orange, (about 1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons cognac, (optional)
1 tablespoon sugar
Zest of 1 lemon, (about 1 tablespoon)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of salt
6 slices bread, such as brioche, sliced 1-inch thick, preferably day-old
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Pure maple syrup, (optional)
PREPARAÇÃO:
1. Whisk together eggs, milk, juice, vanilla, cognac, sugar, zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in
a bowl; set aside.
2. Place bread in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold bread slices in a single layer.
Pour egg mixture over bread; soak 10 minutes. Turn slices over; soak 10 minutes more or
until soaked through.
3. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet, and set aside. Heat 2
tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry half
the bread slices until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to wire rack; place in
oven while cooking remaining bread. Wipe skillet, and repeat with remaining butter, oil, and
bread. Keep in oven until ready to serve. Serve warm with maple syrup, if desired.
