French Toast

Ingredients
5 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup Triple Sec
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
8 thick slices of day-old bread, better if slightly stale
Maple syrup
Fresh berries
Butter

Steps
1. Beat eggs and milk together. Add the Triple Sec, orange zest, and cinnamon. Whisk until well blended. Pour into a shallow bowl.

2. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing bread to soak up some of the mixture. Melt some butter (or use vegetable oil) over a skillet on medium high heat. Add as many slices of bread onto the skillet as will fit at a time. Fry until brown on both sides, flipping the bread when necessary.

3. Serve hot with butter, maple syrup, and fresh berries. Serves 4.
