Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large eggs
1 cup milk
finely grated zest of 1 orange
2 tbsp. fresh orange juice or orange flavored liqueur
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
8 thick slices challah or other egg bread
1/2 cup whipped cream cheese, room temperature, 4 oz
6 tbsp. orange marmalade
canola oil or clarified butter for cooking
unsalted butter, room temperature for serving
pure maple syrup for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Have ready a rimmed baking sheet. In large shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk orange zest and juice and vanilla. Lay 1 bread slick on a work surface and spread with 1/4 each of the cream cheese and marmalade. Top with another slice. Repeat with remaining bread, cream cheese and margarine. Put a griddle over medium high heat til hot. Lightly oil the griddle. One at a time, dip sandwiches in egg mixture and turn gently to cot evenly, keeping sandwiches intact. Let stand until bread has soaked up some of the egg mixture, about 30 seconds. Remove sandwiches form egg mixture, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Put on hot griddle. Cook til bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip sandwiches and brown the other sides, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to baking sheet. When all 4 sandwiches are on the sheet, put the sheet in oven and bake til cream cheese melts, about 10 minutes. Serve French toast sandwiches at once with butter and maple syrup. You can experiment with other fruit preserves, such as raspberry or apricot in place of the orange marmalade.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my sandwiches turned out a bit soggy. I think I might have used too much butter in the pan.

These sandwiches were a great way to use up some leftover bread and cheese. They were also a lot tastier than I expected!

I had some trouble getting the sandwiches to brown evenly. I think I needed to use a lower heat setting.

I'm not usually a fan of marmalade, but it was surprisingly good in these sandwiches. The cheese and bread helped to balance out the sweetness.
