Recipe - Ellas French Toast With Orange And Triple Sec

Stephen Ceideburg
3 Eggs
One half cup Heavy cream
Grated zest and juice of 1
orange
1 tablespoon Triple Sec
One fourth teaspoon Vanilla
One fourth teaspoon Grated nutmeg
8 Thick slices of day old
white bread
4 tablespoon Sweet butter
Fruit preserves or maple
syrup (optional)

Beat eggs in a large bowl with the cream, orange zest and juice, Triple
Sec, vanilla and nutmeg. Soak bread slices in the batter for 15 minutes.

Melt the butter in 1 or 2 large saute pans, or on a griddle. Regulate the
heat so butter doesn't burn. Saute bread slowly in the bitter. The heat
should not be too high, or the bread won't cook through. Saute on both
sides until golden brown.

Serve with fruit preserves or maple syrup, if desired.
