Orange & Cardamom French Toast

French Toast with orange and cardamom. Includes measured ingredients and a step-by-step method.

Ingredients

• 4 thick slices day-old brioche or sandwich bread
• 2 large eggs
• 120 ml milk
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• Plain yogurt or maple syrup, optional
• 1 tsp orange zest
• ¼ tsp ground cardamom

Method

1. Whisk eggs and milk in a shallow dish. Whisk in the orange and cardamom ingredients; if they include chopped fruit, nuts or chocolate, reserve those pieces for serving.
2. Heat half the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Dip two slices in the egg mixture for 10–15 seconds per side.
3. Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden and the egg mixture in the middle is fully set. Repeat with remaining butter and bread.
4. Serve with the reserved pieces and optional yogurt or maple syrup.
