PORTUGUESE SWEET BREAD FRENCH TOAST RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 100°C or 200°F. Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk well. Add milk, orange juice, orange zest, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, and whisk until well combined. Quickly, dip each bread slice into the egg mixture in the bowl, turning it to coat both sides. Transfer the coated bread slices to a plate while you finish coating the remaining slices. Heat a small skillet over medium heat until it's hot, about 3 to 5 minutes. Melt 1 teaspoon of the butter in the skillet, then add a slice of coated bread, and cook until the bread is golden brown and crusted on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Turn them a plastic turner and cook until the second side is golden, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer the French toast from the skillet to a baking sheet. Cover lightly with aluminum foil and place them in the oven to keep warm while you cook the other slices. Repeat with the remaining slices, be sure to add 1 teaspoon of butter to the pan before every slice. Sprinkle the French toast with confectioners' sugar and serve.

RABANADAS (BRAZILIAN AND PORTUGUESE FRENCH TOAST) RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Cut the bread into about 16 slices, each about 3/4-inch thick and ideally oval or round in shape.
• Place the bread slices in a shallow baking dish, in 1 layer if possible. If the bread is not very stale, let the sliced bread dry out in the open air overnight if possible.
• Place the milk (or wine), cinnamon sticks, sugar, and pinch of salt in a pot over medium heat. Bring mixture to a boil and let the mixture simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Remove cinnamon sticks.
• Pour milk mixture over the sliced bread, distributing the liquid evenly over all of the pieces. Let bread soak for 20 to 30 minutes, allowing it to soak up as much of the milk as possible.
• Heat a couple of inches of olive oil in a large heavy skillet until oil is hot enough that it sizzles gently when a piece of bread is adding to it. Cover a large plate with a layer of paper towels.
• Whisk the eggs together in a medium bowl until very well mixed.
• Use tongs to pick up a piece of the milk-soaked bread (handling it gently) and dip it into the egg, coating both sides with egg, and allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl.
• Place the bread into the oil and cook until well-browned on one side.
• Flip the bread and cook until both sides are golden brown, then​ carefully transfer rabanada to the plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining slices of bread, cooking several simultaneously if the skillet is large enough.
• Mix the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle mixture over both sides of the cooked rabanadas. If you would like to also coat the rabanadas with a sugar syrup, heat equal parts honey or maple syrup with water and quickly dip each pastry into the hot sugar syrup.
• Serve rabanadas warm or at room temperature with extra honey.
