Sourdough French Toast

#brunching

It is the weekend and we love to brunch!   With our little one, we do not get to brunch out often, so we have taken one of our favorites and brought it home with us, Sourdough French Toast.  We love sourdough and taking this delicious type of bread and soaking it in our egg and milk mixture creates a fantastic brunch meal to kick off the weekend.  For a fun twist add some orange zest or orange extract.  The incredible french toast at Brockton Villa in La Jolla is thick and fluffy with a delightful hint of orange.  Our recipe is a little more straightforward, but if you can master this recipe you can ad-lib to create unique variations to constantly up your brunch game.  Enjoy!
