Orange Olive Oil French Toast

Prep time 20 minutes Servings 2

Orange olive oil French toast fries the bread in oil instead of butter, which browns it more evenly and adds real fruit flavor to every bite. Firrisa's citrus and dried-fruit character makes the orange zest in the batter feel like the whole point, not a garnish.

Ingredients

4 thick slices bread (brioche or Italian loaf)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
Zest of 1 orange
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Firrisa, for the pan
Powdered sugar, for serving

Instructions

In a shallow, wide dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, orange zest, cinnamon, and vanilla until fully combined.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a generous coating of Firrisa.
Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak about 15 seconds per side so it absorbs the custard without falling apart.
Lay the soaked slice in the hot pan and repeat with a second slice if there's room, don't crowd the pan.
Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing gently once with a spatula, until each side is deep golden brown and the center feels set rather than squishy.
Transfer to a plate and add more Firrisa to the pan before cooking the remaining slices.
Dust the finished French toast with powdered sugar and serve immediately while hot.
