French Toast


1 loaf challah Bread (we usually use french bread)
Melted butter, to oil griddle
6 eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 orange, zested and juiced
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
maple syrup or fruit compote (any fruit fried up in a pan with some sugar and dash of vanilla)


Cut challah bread in 1-inch thick slices. Allow to sit out for awhile to dry out.
Heat griddle to 350 degrees F and lightly brush with a butter soaked piece of paper towel.
Combine eggs, heavy cream, orange zest and juice, cinnamon and ground nutmeg in a shallow wide dish. Dip the slices of bread into the egg mixture allowing it to soak in on both sides. Transfer to each piece to the hot griddle and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Try to flip only once
