My family loves french toast, I just get sick of making it the same way every time.  I decided to utilize what I had on hand since the stores are still limited. The combination was quite delicious! You can stuff it with a cream cheese filling, serve it as a dessert and add a scoop of orange cream swirl ice cream. Possibilities are endless.  I just have to find a way to make a Keto version for myself.

Orange Almond French Toast

Serves 2-3

6 slices country style white bread, preferably organic

2 eggs, preferably organic

1/3 cup organic half and half

1/2 tsp. almond extract

zest of 1 organic navel orange

2-3 Tbs. grass fed butter, for pan

 

Directions 

In a medium dish/bowl add the eggs, half and half, almond extract and orange zest, whisk well.

Over medium heat, in a griddle or large pan, melt 1 1/2 tbs of  butter.  Dip bread into egg mixture and place a into pan/griddle. Depending on size of pan/griddle between 2 to 4 slices will fit.  cook each side until golden. If you are doubling this recipe, you can put the cooked french toast onto an oven safe plate and put in the oven on a low setting to keep warm until ready to serve.

Serve with a drizzle of the juice of an orange slice or warm maple syrup and top with powdered sugar.
