How to Make New Orleans French Toast
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon grated orange zest until thoroughly combined.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large (10-inch) skillet over medium heat.
- Dip 2-3 slices of bread (challah, brioche, or Texas toast recommended) into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Cook the bread slices for approximately 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter to the pan as needed.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the remaining bread slices and butter.
- Serve immediately. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup, or top with fresh orange segments tossed with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon orange liqueur (optional).
