Orange French Toast

This is the dreamiest French Toast in the world. Holy moly.  If you love orange, you absolutely must make my Orange French Toast!

Orange French Toast | Easy Breakfast

I wish you could smell this dish through your computer. Making this breakfast is practically an aromatherapy treatment! The sweet scent of orange wafts up at you while this is cooking. Paired with butter and a hint of vanilla, I was drooling before I even plated it!

You know a recipe is great when your life is crumbling you and you’re still in a good mood because it’s impossible to be in a bad mood while eating this French toast. (Related: Meta suspended The Rose Table’s Instagram account again and I currently don’t have access to my Facebook account due to the hacker saga from months ago. If you haven’t bookmarked therosetable.com yet and signed up for my emails please do so now!)

I used Fiori di Sicilia in this recipe, which is an amazing orange vanilla extract from King Arthur Flour. You could also use a combination of orange extract and vanilla extract but I highly recommend keeping this on hand if you love orange! I use it in so many recipes because it makes everything taste fancier.

I’ve written this up for a single serving, two servings, and four servings for your convenience.
