Orange Zest French Toast
French toast or toast mayai as we fondly call it here in Kenya is a quick breakfast fix that can be transformed very easily. This time round I added some orange zest and the results were amazing. Ideally a day or two old bread is great with french toast but any slice of bread will […]
