Ingredients
 

French Toast

  • 8 slices brioche
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 ½ Cups chocolate milk
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon orange extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar mixture

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

  • 2 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Orange Maple syrup

  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 3 Tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
  • ½ teaspoon orange zest
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla paste
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Orange-scented whipped cream.

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • In a small saucepan, whisk together the ingredients for syrup. Simmer for five minutes and set aside.
  • Prepare orange-scented whipped cream.
  • Place brioche on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Flip slices and bake for 4–5 minutes, or until lightly toasted on both sides.
  • While brioche is toasting, combine custard ingredients in a wide bowl. Whisk until well combined.
  • Heat a skillet on medium heat. Add one teaspoon of butter to the skillet. Dip 3–4 brioche slices in custard, then place in pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Add another teaspoon of butter, flip the toast, and cook for 2–3 more minutes. Sprinkle the top-facing side with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon sugar. Flip and cook for 15–30 seconds. Remove from pan.
  • To serve, place cinnamon sugar side face up on a plate. Top with orange-scented whipped cream, syrup, and dust with powdered sugar.
