Brioche French Toast with Fresh Figs

Name: Brioche French Toast with Fresh Figs
Yield: Serves 4.
Ingredients: 1 cup maple syrup; 1 1/2 tsp. orange flower water; 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract; 2 eggs; 3/4 cup milk; 1/4 cup fresh orange juice; 1 Tbs. sugar; 2 tsp. grated orange zest; 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract; 1/8 tsp. salt; 2 tsp. unsalted butter; 8 slices day-old brioche, 3/4 inch thick, with crusts; 8 fresh figs such as Mission, quartered

Sweet, dark purple Mission figs are a favorite for this dish, but golden Calimyrnas, yellow-green Kadotas and green Adriatics are also good choices, or use a mix of varieties. Choose figs that are soft to the touch but not bruised and use them promptly, as they spoil quickly. If you have brioche left over from making bread pudding (see related recipe at left), this is a great way to use it. Serve the French toast with orange blossom maple syrup or regular maple syrup.
