ORANGE FRENCH TOAST

There is not a type of French toast I don't love, but this version - a kind of eggy, squidgy toast and marmalade - is the perfect mixture between morning-sharp and weekend treatiness.

Ingredients

  • Express Recipe
  • Nigella Recipe
  • Vegetarian
  • 2 eggs
  • Grated zest of 1 orange
  • 60ml full-fat milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large, thick slices white bread or 4 smaller slices
  • Juice of 1 orange
  • 75g fine-cut marmalade, such as Tiptree "crystal"
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 1 x 15ml tablespoon butter

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.
