For lovers with a sweet tooth. Eggy French toast made with panettone or brioche served with beautiful figs or berries. Cointreau is added to the maple syrup or can be drizzled over on its own, a perfect complement to the orange rind. Definitely a breakfast to savour.

Ingredients

3 eggs
1 teaspoon finely grated orange rind
2/3 cup milk
30g butter
4 thick slices panettone or brioche
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon Cointreau
2 fresh figs, cut into quarters

Method

Place the eggs in a large bowl with the orange rind and milk. Whisk until fully combined and frothy
Heat a little butter in a large non stick frying pan over medium heat until bubbling
Working two at a time, dip slices of panettone or brioche in the egg mixture. Gently coat then allow excess egg to drip off
Place the slices in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden. Remove from the pan, keep warm and repeat with remaining bread and eggwash
While the French toast is cooking, mix together the maple syrup and Cointreau until fully combined
Once all the slices of panettone or brioche are cooked, serve drizzled with the maple syrup and scatter with fig wedges

Tips & Hints

If preferred omit the Cointreau from the maple syrup.
