This weekend Justin and I were so excited to spend the weekend at the family’s new cabin with my parents. To celebrate, I wanted to break in our first breakfast together making something special. My mom and I have always loved breakfast since I was a little girl. One of our favorites is french toast so I thought I’d make a spiced up holiday version using some brioche bread, some booze and fresh orange juice!
Below I’m sharing this cabin & family friendly Brioche French Toast with an Orange Zest! This is a great holiday breakfast you can make the night before and quickly pop in the oven the next morning. I promise you this dish will WOW your guests and have you running back for round 2! Enjoy!
