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.

ORANGE PECAN FRENCH TOAST



Orange Pecan French Toast image

My husband and I were vacationing recently and had this lovely French toast at a bed and breakfast. When we came back home, I kept missing it so I called them up and requested it. They actually gave me the recipe over the phone! I generally halve the recipe for my husband and I, and bake it in an 8 inch square pan. Reheats well in the toaster oven. I served it to my in-laws recently and they loved it. Serve with a little sweetened whipped cream and berries!

Tips:

  • Use stale bread for French toast. Stale bread absorbs more egg mixture and results in a thicker, more flavorful French toast.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the French toast in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Overcrowding will prevent the French toast from cooking evenly.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle. A non-stick skillet or griddle will prevent the French toast from sticking. If you don't have a non-stick skillet or griddle, you can grease the pan with butter or cooking spray.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat. Cook the French toast over medium heat to prevent it from burning. Medium heat will also allow the French toast to cook evenly.
  • Flip the French toast only once. Flip the French toast only once, when the bottom is golden brown. Flipping the French toast too often will break it up.
  • Serve the French toast immediately. Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
