This is another recipe I cut in half for the 2 of us to enjoy! Also left out the granulated AND the powdered sugar, while using a nutty, whole grain bread! Other than that, though . . . The orange marmalade & the mandarin oranges made it sweet enough for us ~ Very satisfying! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Cookbook recipe tag]

*Made for Australia/NZ Swap #45* This was surely easy to put together -- however required significantly more than 5 slices of French bread. I also added some of the liquid from the mandarin oranges to the egg mixture. I melted Cross and Blackwell's orange marmalade, and spooned it over each serving. Made a tasty breakfast treat for DH amd me on a day with no morning schedules !! Will do this again when the DGK are here. Thanks for posting, Julie.
