Orange Stuffed French Toast and Orange Sauce
"Messina Hof Winery Inspired"
oh what like you want the recipe or something??? Yeah OK here we go..
French Toast Batter
For the Batter I like to use a pie plate.... yes its for more than just pie. I do this because of the low sides keep the mixture in and its wide enough for me to coat the bread when I get ready to put it in the fry pan.
3 Large Eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
Zest from 1 Orange
Juice from 1 Orange
optional: 1 tsp of honey
Mix well with a wisk and put aside.
You will also need:
8 Slices of Texas Toast
a fry pan
pat of butter
Toast Stuffing
2 Tbs. Messina Hof Zinfandel Marmalade Rose
Zest of 1/2 an Orange
3oz Cream Cheese
Spread between two slices of Texas Toast
While the sauce is cooking warm up a fry pan and put in your pat of butter. soak each side of your "orange" sandwich with French Toast batter and place it in the warm buttered pan. cook until brown on each side. Plate and Cut... pour on the orange sauce and garnish with powdered sugar.
Orange Sauce
3 Tbsp Butter
1/3 cup sugar
Juice of one Orange
a splash of Messina Hof Texas Country Christmas wine
In a small sauce pan warm up butter and sugar until bubbling gradually add orange juice and wine and simmer until thickened. If too liquidy wisk in a bit of cornstarch (I prefer tapioca starch as it does not discolor the liquid.)
.
I hope you Enjoy it as much as we did. And YES this was another gotta have it even if it was for dinner and a lovely glass of Texas Country Christmas wine to compliment it.
Merry Christmas
