Ingredients

  • 6 slices of brioche or challah
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • zest of 1/2-3/4 of an orange
  • butter
  • maple syrup optional

Instructions

  • In a wide rimmed, shallow bowl or pie pan, whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, spices and orange zest. Mix well to fully combine the eggs and break apart the white and yolks so it's a smooth texture. Now dip the brioche slices on both sides to soak up the liquid. I let each slice sit for about 4 seconds on each side then flip.
  • In a large frying pan or griddle, melt some butter over medium/low heat. Once melted, add your bread. Each slice will cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned, then flip. Top with a pad of butter, some maple syrup and some orange zest.
