French Toast is one of Ree’s favorite brunch dishes. Here, she uses brioche as the toast, but you can go to your pantry and use whatever kind of bread you like; whatever you choose will be delicious.

Directions
For the citrus cream cheese: Preheat a pan or griddle over medium heat.
In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, orange zest and juice until smooth and billowy. Set aside.
For the French toast: Mix the eggs, half-and-half, maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Set aside.
Grease the griddle or skillet with the butter and one by one, dip the brioche slices into the egg mixture, fully submerging and coating it. Place the dipped brioche on the griddle. Repeat with the remaining brioche. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Serve the French toast with butter, maple syrup, a generous amount of the whipped cream cheese and some orange segments.
