How to Make Orange Infused Mascarpone French Toast

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, gently mix the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly butter the surface.
  4. Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Don't over soak; aim for a few seconds per side.
  5. Cook the brioche slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone mixture onto one slice of cooked brioche.
  7. Top with the second slice of brioche to create a sandwich.
  8. Cook the sandwich in the skillet for another 2-3 minutes per side, or until the cheese is slightly melted and the bread is golden brown.
  9. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before slicing in half and serving. Garnish with extra orange zest, if desired.
