Fragrant French toast with orange zest - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use brioche, challah, or any sturdy bread that holds its shape well when hollowed out. Avoid overly soft bread as it may fall apart.
You can substitute brandy with orange juice, apple juice, or a non-alcoholic vanilla extract for a kid-friendly version without sacrificing flavor.
Assembled baskets are best enjoyed fresh. If needed, store unfilled toasted bread for up to 1 day in an airtight container, and add fillings just before serving.
Absolutely! Use a gluten-free baguette and ensure your custard or jam is gluten-free. The cooking method remains the same.
Quickly toast the unfilled bread baskets in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes to crisp them up, then add room-temperature fillings.
Freeze only the unfried bread portions before stuffing. Thaw and then fry when ready to use. Fillings don't freeze well in this recipe.
Try diced peaches, plums, or figs when in season. Dried fruits like cranberries or apricots (plumped in warm juice) also work beautifully.
Use plant-based butter for frying and a dairy-free custard or coconut whipped cream as filling. The orange zest still provides great flavor.
