Description
This
recipe uses French bread and grated orange peel to create thick slices
of French Toast that have a subtle hint of orange. The maple whip cream
plays well with the orange and the thicker slices of toast. This is a
really great special occasion breakfast.

Instructions
Start
by whisking the eggs, milk, cinnamon, salt and orange peel together in a
large bowl. Cut the bread into inch to inch and half slices. If you
want to be fancy cut them on a bias for a great presentation.
To make the topping, use a mixer to whip the heavy cream, sugar, and maple syrup together until it has started to come together into thick peaks.
To cook the French Toast heat a large skillet or similar pan on medium high heat. Dip the pieces of bread into the batter, flipping them over to coat both sides. When you take them out of the batter, hold them over the bowl for a second to get rid of any excess batter. The best way to cook these is in batches with each piece going immediately from the batter to the pan.
Cook each piece for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until they reach a nice golden brown.
Serve with maple syrup and whip cream.

Notes
If
you're cooking these for a big group, work in batches by placing the
cooked pieces on a baking sheet in a warm oven while you're cooking
additional pieces. Also, the whipped cream can be made ahead of time
and stored in the fridge if it's covered.
