Fish FoodWhile the French toast may not have originated in France, it is still a delectable dish. Side point and unrelated, why it is called 'French toast' despite not coming from France makes an interesting read.
INGREDIENTS
hamburger bunsWait, not the regular white bread? Well, nothing is wrong with it, but I find that it is better using something that is thicker and fluffier. Optimally we'd use brioche, challah, or a baguette, but if we don't have access to that, hamburger buns do pretty good too.
1 cup milk
4 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg (optional)
orange zest from one orange (this is the scraped off peel or rind of the fruit)This is almost like a 'secret ingredient' that adds a slight tang and taste of freshness to the toast
DIRECTIONS
1
Make the custard by combining the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg. Then add the orange zest.
2
Heat a pan over medium heat. For grease, butter or a neutral oil (canola or vegetable) should work.
3
Dip each bread into the custard. Don't dip it too long to the point that it becomes soggy. Just enough to soak it.
4
Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Top with more butter if you desire. And syrup, of course. And add bacon and eggs to that order too please.
