Orange Flavored French Toast (Pain Perdu)

1. 1

   Break the eggs in a small bowl. Pour in equal parts milk and orange juice, until you reach a desired consistency. Whip these three ingredients together, taking care to break up the whites of the eggs (because they tend to want to stay together).

2. 2

   If stale bread is not available, place sliced bread in the toaster (toast allows bread to stay stiff, so it won't fall apart when placed in the liquid egg mixture).

3. 3

   Place one piece of the bread into the small bowl and let it soak for a little bit, then flip so that both sides are equally soggy. Place the bread on a heated non-stick skillet. As one piece of bread is cooking on the skillet, soak the next piece in the egg-milk-orange juice mixture.

4. 4

   Repeat!

5. 5

   It is up to the cook if s/he wants to provide maple syrup or other garnishes. Personally, I like to eat these plain. With the nice and subtle orange flavor, they really don't need anything else!
