Orange French Toast!

YUMS.

Once again Nigella didn't disappoint me. :D Really yummy.

I thought it would be really easy and would definitely not make a mess. Unfortunately, I overestimate my cooking ability. :D Apparently, butter can get really hot.

Thankfully, it turned out well. My mom liked it. (:

RECIPE!
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

  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.
