I made this easy French toast and added a twist to it using the Cappy orange juice for a zesty flavour! That and the yoghurt were such good combos. I enjoyed this so much! 😍

How to make French Toast with a Twist

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk to combine the Cappy Orange 100% Fruit Juice Blend Still with the yoghurt, eggs, and honey.

  2. Slice the loaf of bread into even, thick slices, about 2cm. Cut the slices in half creating triangles.

  3. Dip each triangle into the egg custard before arranging them in a medium baking dish, overlapping slightly and with the corners of the slices facing up.

  4. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the custard and pour the remaining custard evenly over the slices. Cover the dish with foil. Refrigerate and allow to soak for 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.

  5. Preheat the oven to 175°C. Bake the French Toast, covered, for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, brush the 3 tablespoons of custard over the tips of the bread and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the top. Bake for another 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.

  6. Serve immediately, garnished with dollops of yoghurt, a drizzle of honey, and generous amounts of orange zest.
