Steps:

  • In a saucepan, place the milk,sugar, zests, juices, vanilla and spices. Simmer for 5-7 minutes (it will start to smell amazing!).
  • Cool the mix for 5 minutes.
  • Add the bread all at once and leave it there to soak up all that goodness, allow a good 20 minutes.
  • Beat the eggs in a seperate bowl and in batches, carefully coat the bread.
  • In a large heavy based fry pan, add the butter (start with 2 tablespoons) and sizzle over a medium heat until fragrant.
  • Add 6 - 8 slices of bread (depending on the size of your pan - don't over crowd it) and cook for 3-4 minutes each side. Add more butter for each batch you make.
  • Repeat until all the bread has been fried.
  • Place the bread on a plate and sprinkle with icing sugar and serve warm.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the custard mixture by half.

I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon, so I omitted it from the recipe. The Spanish French toast was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the cinnamon.

This recipe is a great way to impress your friends and family. It's a bit more time-consuming than regular French toast, but it's definitely worth the effort.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a loaf of stale bread in my freezer, so this is a perfect way to use it up.

I added some fresh berries to the top of the Spanish French toast and it was divine! The tartness of the berries complemented the sweetness of the dish perfectly.

I was skeptical about the orange zest in this recipe, but it really worked! The citrus flavor added a nice brightness to the dish.
