Surprise your loved ones this Valentine’s Day with a delicious breakfast in bed. The cardamom in this sweet sauce is a great substitute for cinnamon.

Ingredients

  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
  • 6 (3/4-inch-thick) slices bread
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice, strained to remove as much pulp as possible
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoons ground cardamom

Cooking Instructions

  1. Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla and the 1/2 teaspoon of the cardamom to blend in a medium-size bowl. Add bread slices; let stand until egg mixture is absorbed, turning bread slices occasionally with spatula, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons butter to skillet; stir to melt. Add orange juice, sugar and the 3/4 teaspoon cardamom; simmer until liquid is slightly thickened and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter on griddle or in another nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bread slices and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
  4. Cut French toast slices diagonally in half, divide among plates. Top with sauce and serve.
