Portuguese Bread French Toast is a delicious and unique twist on classic French toast. The use of Portuguese sweet bread gives this breakfast dish a distinct flavor and a sweeter taste than traditional French toast. The bread is dipped in a mixture of eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange zest, creating a sweet and flavorful base for the dish. The bread is then cooked until golden brown in a large skillet with butter. This dish is perfect for a sweet and indulgent breakfast or brunch. Serve with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or maple syrup.

Instructions

1.	Slice the Portuguese sweet bread into thick slices.
