Ingredients
- 1 cup Maple Grove Farms Maple Syrup
- 3/4 cup Polaner Sugar Free Orange Marmalade
- 1 tbsp Orange liqueur (optional)
- 4 Large eggs
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream, half & half, or milk
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp Member’s Mark™ Organics Ground Cinnamon
- Pinch Pinch of ground nutmeg
- 8 slices 1-inch thick bread
- 6 tbsp Butter
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried
- Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ Cinnadust™, as desired
Instructions
- In a small sauce pan, combine syrup, orange marmalade, and orange liqueur (optional). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cook mixture on low for about 10 minutes until it has reduced slightly. Turn off heat while preparing the French Toast.
- Whisk together the eggs, cream, vanilla, Member’s Mark™ Organics Ground Cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour into a shallow baking dish that is large enough for the bread slices to lay flat. Place slices on top of egg mixture and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Turn slices over and let sit 5-10 minutes more. (Gently press the bread to make sure egg mixture has soaked in.)
- Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add 3-4 slices of bread to skillet (don’t overcrowd) and fry about 3-4 minutes per side. You can always flip a couple times until nicely browned. (Better to flip and not burn!) When done, place on a platter and put in oven to keep warm while cooking the rest of the bread. Add another tablespoon of butter to skillet, and fry remaining slices of bread.
- Serve French Toast topped with a pat of butter, drizzled with the warm Orange Marmalade Maple Syrup, and topped with fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ Cinnadust™, as desired.
