Ingredients

• 1 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 8 slices thick-sliced bread (such as brioche or challah)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 0.5 cup maple syrup (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries, granulated sugar, and orange juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the cranberries burst and form a thick sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter to coat the surface.

Step 4

Dip one slice of bread at a time into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are soaked but not dripping excessively.

Step 5

Place the soaked bread onto the preheated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 6

To serve, place 2 slices of French toast on a plate. Drizzle with the cranberry sauce, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve with maple syrup on the side.

Step 7

Enjoy your festive and flavorful Cranberry French Toast!
