Creating Cardamom-Spiced French Toast with Orange Syrup is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Make the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cardamom, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until combined.
2. Prepare the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated well. Allow excess to drip off.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or griddle, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
4. Cook the Toast: Place slices of the soaked bread onto the skillet. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
5. Repeat: Add more butter as needed and continue cooking until all slices are done.
6. Prepare the Orange Syrup: While the toast cooks, combine the sugar, orange juice, and zest in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mix thickens slightly.
7. Serve: Place the French toast on plates and drizzle with the warm orange syrup.
8. Garnish: Optionally, add a sprinkle of extra cardamom or fresh mint leaves for beauty and added flavor.
