Its very easy to make and doesn&#8217;t involve and special baking or bread making.We are towards the end of Blood Orange season so if you don&#8217;t find blood oranges no worries regular oranges work just fine. I also love a strong citrus flavor so if you&#8217;re not into strong citrus flavor reduce the zest by half. Other than that it&#8217;s a simple straight forward recipe. I do however recommend soaking the brioche overnight for better flavor and texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC_5776.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC_5776.jpg?resize=906%2C1232\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15905\" width=\"906\" height=\"1232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC_5776.jpg?resize=753%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 753w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC_5776.jpg?resize=221%2C300&amp;ssl=1 221w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC_5776.jpg?resize=768%2C1045&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC_5776.jpg?resize=1129%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1129w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC_5776.jpg?resize=1506%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1506w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC_5776.jpg?w=1838&amp;ssl=1 1838w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 906px) 100vw, 906px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CITRUS FRENCH TOAST BAKE, SERVES 8<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">INGREDIENTS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1\u00a0brioche loaf, about 14 oz-1 pound, sliced into 1 inch thick slices<\/li><li>4 large eggs, beaten<\/li><li>1 1\/2\u00a0cups\u00a0full fat oat\u00a0milk (I like Oatly) or whole milk<\/li><li>2 tablespoons orange zest<\/li><li>1 tablespoon lemon zest from one lemon<\/li><li>2 tablespoons brown sugar<\/li><li>1\u00a0tablespoon\u00a0vanilla extract<\/li><li>2 oranges, sliced, peeled if preferred<\/li><li>1 tablespoon\u00a0salted butter, melted plus more for greasing<\/li><li>\u00bc cup sliced almonds, toasted<\/li><li><strong>SERVING SUGGESTION<\/strong>: Whipped cream,\u00a0maple syrup, dusting of powdered sugar and extra fresh fruit<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">INSTRUCTIONS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Grease a 9\u00d713 inch-baking dish with butter.\u00a0<\/li><li>Slice the brioche loaf into one inch thick slices.
