The cinnamon butter will saturate the bread while it bakes, almost like an eggless French toast.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small blood orange or navel orange, very thinly sliced, seeds removed
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Flaky sea salt
2 tablespoons plus 1 cup pure maple syrup
4 (1/2"-thick) slices brioche or challah
1 cup crème fraîche

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Place orange slices and sugar in a small bowl. Scrape in vanilla seeds; save pod for another use. Toss to coat orange slices.
  • Mix butter, cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and 2 Tbsp. maple syrup in a medium bowl to combine. Spread cinnamon butter on one side of each piece of brioche. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in oven until brioche is golden brown (the bottoms should be very crisp), 8-10 minutes.
  • Place each toast, buttered side down, on plates. Top with crème fraîche and orange slices. Drizzle remaining 1 cup maple syrup over toasts and finish with a sprinkle of salt.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of citrus, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The sweetness of the maple syrup and the creaminess of the crème fraîche really balanced out the tartness of the citrus.

I've never had crème fraîche before, but I really enjoyed it on this toast. It added a creamy richness that really balanced out the sweetness of the maple syrup.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover citrus. I had some oranges and lemons that were about to go bad, so I made this toast and it was a delicious way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of cinnamon, so I was hesitant to try this recipe. But I'm glad I did! The citrus and maple flavors really shine through and the cinnamon is just a subtle hint.

This was a delightful recipe! The combination of citrus, maple, and cinnamon was perfectly balanced and the crème fraîche added a creamy richness that took it to the next level.
