60 ml orange liqueur (e.g., Triple-Sec)

1/2 fresh orange, juiced and zested

5 ml orange extract

1/4 tsp salt

12 slices cinnamon raisin bread

Confectioners' sugar, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease two large baking sheets or line with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk the eggs until pale. Add the milk, sugar, orange liqueur, orange juice, zest, extract, salt, and nutmeg. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

Dip the bread slices in the egg custard and place on the prepared baking sheets without overlapping. Bake for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.

Step 4

To serve, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and drizzle with maple syrup.
