No reviews

There can never be enough french toast recipes out there.  I thought I would try something new and use up leftover king cake I couldn’t bring myself to throw away.  Combined with the colored sugar and creamy sweet goodness of the cake, this french toast was an epic win!

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2-3 1x

Ingredients

Scale

6 slices of king cake

23 tbsp unsalted butter

2 eggs

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

juice of 1 small orange

powdered sugar

maple syrup

Instructions

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.  Add butter to skillet to melt.

Add eggs, cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and orange juice into a small mixing bowl.  Whisk together.  Dunk each slice of king cake into the egg mixture.  Cook slices in the non-stick skillet for a few minutes. Flip over to cook the other side.  Once toast is golden brown, serve onto plates and top with sprinkled powdered sugar and maple syrup.

Notes

FOR VEGAN RECIPE, use 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1 tbsp of nutritional yeast flakes for the “egg mixture” and a good vegan bread option.  Add cinnamon, vanilla, and orange juice and whisk together.
