Cinnamon Raisin French Toast with Orange Butter

October 1, 2013 by Kayley 1 Comment


This is what we had for breakfast for Father’s Day this year. I must say the orange butter makes a nice alternative to the traditional maple syrup. For added sweetness, I dust each piece of french toast with powdered sugar.

Ingredients:

  • 3 Oranges, juiced
  • 2/3 stick of Butter, softened
  • 12 slices Cinnamon Raisin Bread
  • 4 Eggs
  • 3/4 c. Milk
  • 1/2 t. Vanilla
  • Butter, for cooking
  • Powdered Sugar for dusting

For the Orange Butter: (can be made the day before)
Place the freshly squeezed orange juice in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let the juice simmer and reduce until there is only about 2-3 tablespoons of syrup left in the pan. Pour the syrup in to a small bowl and let cool.
When the syrup is cool, place the softened butter in the bowl and mix it in with the syrup using the back of a spoon. Blend well and chill.

For the French Toast:
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Set aside.
Heat a large frying pan to medium-high. Add a tablespoon of butter to the pan. Once melted, dip one slice of bread quickly on each side in the egg mixture and place in the pan. Cook on both sides until crisp and lightly browned. Repeat with remaining bread.

To serve:
Spread each slice with orange butter and dust with powdered sugar. Serve in stacks of 2-3 and top each stack of french toast with a dollop of orange butter.

  • I’ve had a bit of a love affair with tahini over the last year or two. It goes in everything! My latest obsession? Steel cut oats with maple syrup and a hefty drizzle of tahini. Oh sweet Mercy, friends, try that one. I accept thank you’s in the form of cake, Disney Channel original movies, and flake bars.
Halva is also acceptable.
.
Happy Thursday!

  • Who can resist a reason to combine food,  @RobertMondavi wine, and friends during the holidays?! This year I’m throwing a BYOQ - bring your own Quiche party, complete with a bottle of Robert Mondavi Winery To Kalon Vineyard Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine delivers deeply intense blackberry and plum  flavors across the palette with sweet oak, toasted almond, and vanilla bean layers. The complex flavors and juiciness from the fruit make for the perfect holiday pairing. Which quiche would you bring? I’m opting for a classic Quiche Lorraine and a Florentine version as well. #Msgfor21 #RobertMondaviPartner #RobertMondaviWinery

I know that the holiday shopping flurry has begun for most of you and I want to take a second to share a favorite shop of mine that specializes in stunning hand-carved spoons, scoops, etc. @poldersowm is a family-run, farm living, beauty creating group of siblings(and parents!) that craft the most beautiful things by hand.
I’ve been an admirer for years.
I think the things we choose to use in our daily lives are so important. Even the little things like spoons. Scooping out a mound of coffee beans and watching them fall off of a smooth, beechwood scoop into the grinder - it adds to the beauty of my day and is such a simple pleasure.
.
This holiday season, support the handmade, the craftsman, the artist. 
Bring quality and heirloom pieces into the lives of others. My friends over at @poldersowm were nice enough to give me a code to share with you -
