  CRANBERRY ORANGE BRAIDED BRIOCHE

Ingredients

• Eggs
• Milk
• Granulated Sugar
• Salt
• Vanilla Extract
• Butter
• Maple Syrup
• Oranges (fresh slices or zest)
• Cranberries (fresh or dried)

Tips

1. Lightly Toast the Brioche

Briefly toast the brioche slices until just golden. This helps the bread keep its shape and prevents it from becoming soggy when soaked.

2. Make the Custard

In a mixing bowl, whisk together: Eggs Milk Granulated sugar Salt Vanilla extract A generous amount of fresh orange zest Whisk until smooth and fragrant.

3. Soak the Brioche

Dip each toasted brioche slice into the custard for a few seconds per side. The goal is absorption without oversaturating.

4. Cook the French Toast

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the soaked brioche slices. Cook 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and custardy inside.

Keep warm while preparing the topping.

5. Optional: Quick Cranberry–Orange Compote

(This adds a beautiful tangy-sweet finish.) In a small saucepan, combine: ½ cup cranberries (fresh or dried) 1–2 tablespoons orange juice 1 teaspoon orange zest A small spoonful of sugar Simmer for 5–7 minutes until syrupy and softened.

6. Assemble & Serve

Top the warm French toast with: A spoonful of cranberry–orange compote (or plain cranberries) Fresh orange slices or zest A pat of butter A warm drizzle of maple syrup

Serve immediately.
