Christmas Morning Breakfast

Every Christmas morning I have a tradition in my family of making this Orange Toast breakfast. Great orange taste, beautiful color, and a warm breakfast I love sharing with my family.

Christmas Morning Orange Toast

Toast:
1 egg
1/4 c. fresh orange juice
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp. vanilla
3 tsp. finely grated orange zest
1/4 c. sugar
3 slices bread
butter or margarine
2 oranges, seeded and sliced or sectioned
confectioner’s sugar

Golden Orange Sauce:
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. fresh orange juice
2 tsp. grated orange zest

For toast, beat egg lightly in a mixing bowl. Add orange juice, lemon juice, vanilla, orange zest and sugar. Mix well. Cut bread slices in half. Dip in egg mixture, coating both sides. Saute bread in butter as needed on both sides until golden brown.

For sauce, combine cornstarch, sugar, salt, orange juice and zest in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat; pour into pitcher.

To serve, arrange orange slices on each slice of toast. Sprinkle each slice lightly with confectioner’s sugar. Pass sauce. Serves 2-3.
