This was a good recipe, but the amount of marmalade was a bit overpowering for our tastes. I adore marmalade, so I was very surprised that we didn't care for the taste as much as expected. The bread part was yummy, but the filling tasted a little sour. The batter was tasty however, and the cooking method worked out nicely. The French Toast looked lovely on the plate. I would use this method again, but I would select different filling ingredients.
