Elegant Thick French Toast Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Marky90 / All my dishes 1 year, 7 months ago The wonderful cookbook The Silver Palate has an over-the-top French toast recipe. I have made these more than a few times, and the results are fantastic. The triple sec and orange zest add a fresh zing to these beauties. Prep:15m Cook:15m Servings:4	Marky90

Ingredients

5 eggs

Vegetable Oil for your skillet

2/3 cup half and half

1/3 cup Triple Sec

Finely grated zest of 1 orange

2 teaspoons of cinnamon

8 thick slices of day-old bread, better if slightly stale.. (Texas Toast white bread works great)

Maple syrup (Warmed)

Fresh berries ( Optional)

Butter

Powdered Sugar (of Course)

Directions

Beat eggs and milk together. Add the Triple Sec, orange zest, and cinnamon. Whisk until well blended. Pour into a shallow bowl.

Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing bread to soak up some of the mixture. Melt some butter (or use vegetable oil) over a skillet on medium high heat. Add as many slices of bread onto the skillet as will fit at a time. Fry until brown on both sides, flipping the bread when necessary.

Serve hot with butter, maple syrup, and Thick Smoked Bacon.

Fresh Berries on the side..

Enjoy

I LOVE Silver Palate's cookbook - great recipe...the Triple Sec would lend a great "fruity" flavor - can't wait to try this one. I have left over Italian bread from dinner tonight...I think I better slice it and freeze it until the weekend, JUST for this - perfect!
