I really enjoyed this fabulous French Toast recipe. The citrus burst really made it special. I drizzled maple syrup on top, but I think it would be greated topped with orange marmalade or any fruit preserve for that matter. I couldn't find Cuban bread, so I used thick sliced Texas Toast bread, and it worked quite well for us. This something I would feel quite comfortable serving company for for a special occasion breakfast, because it looks so appetizing...and it is! Thanks for sharing your recipe, Chef Jean. Made for Fall 2011 PAC.
