I live in Southern California where there is always an abundance of citrus fruit, so I'm always looking for new ways to use it in everyday cooking. I made this French toast one weekend in Palm Springs with an erstwhile boyfriend; he's not around anymore but the recipe lives on! I've made this with little baguette slices and with large sourdough slices, it's delicious either way. - Cottage Gourmet —CottageGourmet
Many hours later, the perfume of citrus oils still lingers in the kitchen -- *sigh* we are so smitten with this recipe. CottageGourmet's french toast is delightfully simple in its list of ingredients, and sophisticated in its presentation. Pretty flecks of orange and lemon zest perfectly coat each slice, and deliver such a lovely, smooth, sunny flavor with barely a whisper of sweetness. Close your eyes and take in a big nose of the intoxicating bouquet before your first bite -- you will certainly be happier for it. - Jennifer Ann —The Editors
