On vacation in the San Diego area recently I had the pleasure of trying the notorious french toast served in a seaside restaurant called Brockton Villa that overlooks La Jolla Cove. This dish is completely amaze-balls, people. It had me doing a happy dance in my chair. Thank goodness for all the beautiful places in the area to walk around and work off that food coma!

 

Coast Toast Recipe


1 loaf soft French bread (sliced)
1 qt. whipping cream
10 eggs
¾ cup orange juice
½ cup sugar
a pinch of salt
2 tbs. vanilla
2 tbs. orange flavoring

Combine liquid ingredients. Pour over bread slices. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour.

Remove bread and discard liquid. Spread butter on flat grill.

Cook bread until golden brown, then bake at 450° for 5 -7 minutes or until bread is puffed up like a soufflé. Dust with powdered sugar.

Serve immediately.

Serves 6
