Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen cranberries for the best flavor. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
- Be sure to rinse the cranberries before using to remove any dirt or debris.
- To make the cranberry sauce, simply combine the cranberries, sugar, water, and orange zest in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened.
- For the French toast, use thick slices of bread, such as brioche or challah. This will help the French toast hold up better when it is soaked in the egg mixture.
- Be sure to whisk the eggs, milk, and spices together until they are well combined. This will help the French toast cook evenly.
- When cooking the French toast, be sure to cook it over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly without burning.
- Serve the French toast with the cranberry sauce, whipped cream, and maple syrup.
