Cardamom French Toast

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups whole milk

4 large eggs

1 tablespoon British Class Golden Sugar

1 teaspoon lightly packed orange zest

1/2 teaspoon Cool Runnings vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon Cool Runnings ground cardamom

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

8 (1-inch thick) slices sweet batard or brioche

3 or 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)

1. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, sugar, orange zest, vanilla, cardamom, and salt until eggs are broken up and evenly combined. Soak 3 bread slices in egg mixture turning once, until soaked through, about 4 minutes total.
