Chocolate French toast with orange maple
I felt like making a special treat for this morning's breakfast. And when I think of treats around Christmas time, my mind goes to Terry's Chocolate Orange. My wife introduced me to Terry's early in our dating life, and it's been a traditional stocking stuffer for our family ever since. To approximate the flavour, I put a little cocoa powder into my usual French toast batter, then added some orange zest and juice to maple syrup. A dollop of freshly whipped cream and a sprig of mint would've finished it off perfectly, but unfortunately I had neither. Definitely next time.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Use a microplane to grate the orange rind into the maple syrup. Squeeze in a few tbsp of the juice, stir, then refrigerate.

In a medium bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, sugar, a teeny pinch of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Try to break up any lumps. Add half the milk and whisk to combine. Add the rest of the milk as well as the eggs and whisk until you have a smooth batter.
- 3
Put a large nonstick pan on medium-low heat. Add a tbsp butter and let it melt. Dip a couple of slices of bread into the batter and let them soak 2 or 3 seconds on each side, then lay them into the pan. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes per side until the bread is lightly crisped and no longer soggy. Repeat for the remaining slices. Serve the toast immediately with a drizzle of the orange maple.

I used to buy ready-made orange toast, but I don't see it on sale anymore so I tried making it myself.If you prefer the toast to be soft, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk to the orange juice that you soak the bread in. If you like the toast to be crispy, don't add milk to the orange juice and use a baguette instead of sliced bread. Recipe by Kajesan

Warm, crispy toast with a cinnamon-sugar topping and some Quebec maple syrup. Whipped cream, fresh fruit, or fruit preserves are excellent additions to this sweet breakfast. Adjust the level of sugar to your liking. You can also make it savoury by omitting the sweet stuff and going with herbs! Try rosemary and paprika, and grease the pan with olive oil instead of butter. Italian seasoning works too.
