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.
Recipe posted by Nigella
Ingredients
- 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
Serves: 2
- Whisk the eggs, orange zest, milk and ground cinnamon in a wide shallow dish.
- Soak the bread slices in this mixture for 2 minutes a side.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve the French toast with some of the amber syrup poured over each slice, and a jug of extra syrup on the side.
