Specialty Recipe

French Toast

Magnolia Inn B&B Website

Ingredients

1 or 2 medium French baguettes or loaves

4 large eggs

1/2 cup premium vanilla ice cream

1/4 cup fresh orange juice

1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract

1 Tablespoon cinnamon

Pinch of nutmeg

Blueberry and pure maple syrup

Discard ends of baguettes or loaves, cut diagonally in 3/4-inch slices. Spread out the bread slices in a non-reactive dish. In a medium bowl, mix eggs, ice cream, orange juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour over bread slices and let it sit until you are ready. You can leave it overnight, covered in the refrigerator.

Heat your griddle, melt a small amount of butter, and add the soaked bread. Cook until brown on one side, and turn and cook for about 2 minutes. Transfer to plates and cover with berries of your choice or apple slices cooked with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. (If you use berries, pour heated blueberry syrup and maple syrup on top and then top with lemon zest.)
