Ingredients

• 2 Large slices of white sourdough bread
• 1 Egg
• 1/4tsp Vanilla essence
• 1 Orange
• 1tbsp Maple syrup
• 20g Butter

To serve:

• 25g Dairyfine chocolate orange buttons-melted
• 1/2tsp Icing sugar
• 1tbsp Crème fraiche/greek yogurt

Method

1. Zest half of the orange and put the zest onto a lipped plate. Take a sharp knife and cut the other half into slices. Place the slices in a saucepan with the Maple syrup and 70ml water. Cook on a high heat until the oranges go translucent and most of the liquid is absorbed.
2. Crack the egg onto the lipped plate, add the vanilla essence and a little juice from the zested orange half and whisk vigorously with a fork. Place the bread in the eggy mixture, turn to coat both sides.
3. Put a heavy based frying pan on a high heat. Add the butter, as soon as it sizzles and the bread. Cook on each side until golden. Remove from the pan and serve with a drizzle of melted chocolate, the Maple oranges, a dollop or two of crème fraiche and a dusting of icing sugar.
