Recipe Portuguese Bread French Toast (Vegetarian)

Required Ingredients:

• 5 eggs
• 4 cups milk
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1 (1 pound) loaf Portuguese sweet bread
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed

Preparing/Cooking:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange rind in a medium mixing bowl.
• Cut the bread into seven or eight slices, and lay them, overlapping, in a large baking dish.
• Pour the egg mixture over the bread, covering every slice.
• The bread should not be entirely submerged though; the higher parts should become toasted and crispy.
• Dot the bread with the butter.
• Bake the French toast in the oven for 35 to 45 minutes until the custard is set.
• Serve immediately.
