How to Make Bruleed Orange French Toast
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier (optional) until thoroughly combined.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture for about 10 seconds per side, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Brush the pan with 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Once the pan is hot, carefully place bread slices in the pan, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for approximately 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Transfer the cooked French toast slices to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Evenly sprinkle 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar over the top of each French toast slice.
- Using a culinary torch, carefully caramelize the sugar by moving the flame in small, continuous circles over the surface of each slice until the sugar melts and turns a light golden brown. Keep the flame moving to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately. Garnish with a drizzle of maple syrup and a pat of butter for the ultimate indulgence.
