1 large loaf brioche bread
2 whole eggs, plus 2 egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream/whipped cream
1/2 Orange zest
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons honey / maple syrup
2 teaspoon cinnamon Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons cold butter, sliced into thin slices
Cream, berries for serving/garnishing
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 190 C
2. Slice the bread horizontally and vertically to create 1 inch cubes, being careful not to slice all the way through the bread .Place in a baking dish.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks (reserve the whites), cream, orange zest, vanilla, melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Slowly pour the batter over the bread, using your fingers to gently pull the bread apart to allow the batter to sink in. Spoon any batter from the baking dish, back over the bread until the bread has soaked up most of the batter.
4. Line a baking dish with baking paper, and place the bread into the dish. Insert the butter slices in between the cubes of bread. Brush the top of the bread with the reserved egg whites. In a bowl, mix the sugar and 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the bread.
5.Bake for 20 minutes, until the French toast is golden and crisp. Remove it from the oven, and cover it with a foil and bake it once again for 5-10 minutes or until done. Serve warm with cream, berries, and maple syrup. Serve warm.
