Ingredients

  • 1 thin skin seedless orange
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch Kosher salt
  • large pinch Fresh coarsely ground pepper
  • [email protected] 5" wide x 1/2 " thick slices sourdough French bread, halved to make 18 crescents
  • unsalted butter

Method

  • Puree the orange in a food processor. Add eggs through pepper, buzz to mix thoroughly. Pour into a non-metal pie plate or casserole dish. Fill the dish with bread crescents, let sit a few minutes or longer, to absorb the egg mixture. Flip bread over and let sit again. There should be a layer of coating on the bread. (If not, spread a coating layer on the bread after it has been added to the pan.)
  • Over medium high heat, melt a very thin layer of butter in non-stick skillet. Before it smokes, turn heat to medium and add the bread pieces and cook til browned on first side; turn over and finish for a few minutes til brown and set.
  • Serve, sprinkled with cinnamon, as is or with optional warmed maple syrup.
