Hi lazyme! Here's my favorite version of the recipe (it takes about 30 minutes). I recommend adding Cinnamon.

This is an AMAZING RECIPE Lazyme. I loved the orange flavor of this incredible treat. I made this for myself for breakfast today. It was quick and easy to make. With great results, the toast was tender, moist, light and fluffy. The sauce was too die for, so very flavorful, you could taste the butter, orange liquer and marmalade in the pretty sauce. I also added a little maple syrup to round off the treat. Thanks so much for sharing.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS FRENCH TOAST ~ The orange flavor is wonderful! I did put some maple syrup on the table, but for myself I used white corn syrup 'cause I didn't want to mask the orange flavors! Thanks for A GREAT KEEPER! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Newest Zaar Tag]
