Amaretto Orange French Toast

Prep time: 20 minutes
Servings : 3-4 persons 

I have to say, there are few things in life I enjoy more than staying home on a foggy, rainy Sunday, eating my favourite French toast with a nice cuppa! I've sure been making this recipe for as long as I can remember ! We just knew it was a special day when my dad would whip up a badge as my mum and I would sit by the coffee table asking for more!

Today I thought would be a time to finally share this beloved recipe! That's incredibly easy as well!

Ingredients 

• 1 loaf of French brioche bread
• 4 large eggs
• Grated peels of 2-3 oranges (depends how zesty you like it!)
• 1/2 cup Italian Amaretto 
• ​2 tbsp of butter for frying 
• Maple syrup or honey to top
• ​Orange wedges for decorating !

Note: Alcohol Evaporates when cooking, but that special enhancing taste remains ! So you'll be able to serve it to your children no problem!

Method

First up, cut your brioche into thick slices (about 1 inch) and set aside.
Next, in a medium bowl, beat 4 eggs with a whist until completely incorporated.
​This will take about a minute. 

Grate your oranges and add the peels into the mixture. 

Mix them thoroughly and pour in the Amaretto.

After buttering up a pan over medium heat, soak each one of your bread slices into the mixture!

Fry your French Toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side, they'll be ready once they're golden brown!

Enjoy with your favourite toppings! I love using Maple syrup!
