CRUNCHY ORANGE FRENCH TOAST

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 orange
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups cornflakes, crumbled
3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 loaf challah, cut into 1-inch-thick slices
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup warm maple syrup
Ground cinnamon, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Fit a baking sheet with a wire rack. Heat a griddle pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Zest the orange and set aside. Working over a medium bowl, segment the orange; squeeze the juice from the remaining orange membranes.
  • Whisk the eggs, orange zest, milk, cinnamon and orange juice in a baking dish or shallow bowl. Add the cornflakes and bacon to another baking dish and toss together. Dip the bread slices in the egg mixture and let them soak for 1 minute.
  • While the bread is soaking, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter on the griddle pan or skillet.
  • Working with one slice of bread at a time, let the excess egg mixture drip off and then dredge the bread in the cornflake mixture. Add the bread to the griddle, carefully placing as many slices of bread as can comfortably fit without touching too much (it's OK if the edges need to touch a little). You can dredge the bread, transfer it to an unlined baking sheet and hold for 5 minutes while one batch is cooking.
  • Cook on one side, rotating occasionally, until the bottom is golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until it is equally browned, another 2 minutes. Transfer the slices to the prepared baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you complete the next batches. Repeat the cooking process, melting 2 tablespoons of butter for each batch.
  • When all of the French toast is cooked and you are ready to serve, gently stir together the maple syrup and orange segments, making sure not to break up the segments. Spoon the syrup over the French toast and sprinkle with cinnamon. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a thick, sturdy bread for the best results. A loaf with a tight crumb, such as sourdough or French bread, will hold up well to the soaking and frying process.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the French toast. Give each slice plenty of room to brown evenly.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help to prevent the outside from burning while the inside cooks through.
  • Flip the French toast only once. Flipping it too often will make it tough and dry.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. This could include butter, syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.

Conclusion:

Crunchy-crust French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both satisfying and indulgent. Whether you like your French toast classic or prefer to dress it up with your favorite toppings, this recipe is sure to please everyone at the table.
