    Wonderful twist for French Toast!!!! While the milk, vanilla, zest, spices and fresh OJ were warming, my house smelled fantastic, almost like a perfume, it was amazing!!! used two day old Cuban bread and added it to the milk mixture, which really thickened once it cooled. I was worried that the bread would fall apart after soaking that long in the milk mixture, but it didn't due to the thickness of it, so very easy to dip it in the eggs to coat. Just loved this Spanish Toast, great flavors and it really was a crispy outside with a very light and tender inside. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT8.
