METHOD

1.Whisk the eggs, orange zest, milk and ground cinnamon in a wide shallow dish.
2.Soak the bread slices in this mixture for 2 minutes a side.
3.While the eggy bread is soaking, bring the orange juice, marmalade and sugar to the boil in a saucepan, then turn down the heat to a fast simmer for 3–4 minutes. If you need to, let this syrup stand while you cook the bread.
4.Heat the butter in a heavy-based frying pan and cook the eggy bread for about 2 minutes a side over a medium heat until golden.
5.Serve the French toast with some of the amber syrup poured over each slice, and a jug of extra syrup on the side.



REVIEWS

This is delicious. Tastes exotic and decadent but took moments to prepare and cook. Wasn't able to find the specific marmalade but the St Dalfours I used worked fabulously I think. Tasted great with both a 'proper' bread and plastic white.

I am totally addicted to this. So easy and delicious. As Coby says, it tastes wonderful whether you use proper or "plastic" bread!

I wouldn't say it is easy to make as I made it for eight people which meant zesting four oranges. The syrup is very sweet. Next time I would make ordinary French toast, pile it with blueberries, chopped banana etc and pour the orange syrup on top plus a dab of yoghurt.
