Let’s get cooking

Method

Heat the milk with 75 g sugar, the cinnamon stick and orange zest. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, strain and leave to cool slightly.
Cut the bread into 1.5–2 cm slices, soak them in the infused milk and coat in beaten egg.
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Fry the French toast in the olive oil at 170–175°C in small batches for about 2–3 minutes per side until golden and the egg is cooked. Drain on kitchen paper.
Mix the remaining 150 g sugar with the ground cinnamon and coat the warm slices.
