Everyone seems to have his or her own idea about which type of bread makes the best French toast. I prefer French bread sliced on the diagonal, but whole wheat bread is a close second. Both are delicious topped with warm maple syrup.
- 12 to 16 slices slightly stale French bread, or 8 slices regular bread
- 5 eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp brandy, or 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- Grated rind of 1 large orange
- Butter for frying
- Warm pure maple syrup
1. Beat the eggs thoroughly in a large bowl. Add the milk, sugar, orange rind, cinnamon, and brandy, and mix well. Pour into a shallow dish like a pie plate if your bowl doesn't have a good flat bottom.
2. Add a few slices of bread and let soak, turning occasionally, for at least 5 minutes if it’s French bread, or 2 minutes if it’s regular sliced bread.
3. Put a little butter in a large skillet and heat over medium heat until hot. It should sizzle when a drop of water is flicked on it. Fry the bread on both sides until golden brown and piping hot.
4. Serve immediately.
