Ingredients

• 6 slices Brioche loaf
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons Orange zest
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups Mascarpone cheese
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon Orange juice
• 0 optional Maple syrup
• 0 optional garnish Fresh orange slices

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of orange zest until smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Pour the egg mixture into a shallow dish large enough to fit the slices of brioche. Set aside.

Step 3

In another small mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, the remaining 1 teaspoon of orange zest, and orange juice. Stir until creamy and set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt and coat the surface evenly.

Step 5

Dip one slice of brioche into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully soaked but not soggy. Immediately place the soaked brioche into the skillet.

Step 6

Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 7

To serve, spread a layer of the orange-mascarpone mixture between two slices of cooked French toast or dollop it on top.

Step 8

Drizzle with maple syrup if desired, garnish with fresh orange slices, and serve warm.
