Absolutely love the orange zing in this French toast! Unfortunately, hubby missed out on this round but I know he's going to rave over this one. Easy and so yummy...mmmmm. Made during ZWT 5 - France - for the Genies of Gourmet. -
Very good! Reduced the recipe to serve one. Instead of orange juice I used a splash of Grand Marnier and orange zest; then cooked on the stove top! Thanks for sharing! Made for ZWT 5 -
DH suggested that I make something different for breakfast, so I chose this recipe to make. The French toast was so flavorful and delicious, that we overate. I did have enough left over for my DH to have the next day, but I was disappointed I didn't get to have it again! I drizzled a cinnamon sugar glaze over the top and it was yummo! -
Here's a nice & easy way to serve up a breakrfast that's a bit different, & flavorful, too! I did use a nicely rounded half teaspoon of orange zest ~ The cinnamon & orange made for a great combo! Didn't do it this time, but when I make this recipe again, I want to serve the toast with a small amount of homemade orange sauce! Thanks for a keeper!

<p>Update: I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound poodle mix named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter.
