How to Make Baked French Toast With Cardamom And Marmalade

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 15 x 10 x 2-inch glass baking dish with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  2. Spread 1/2 cup of orange marmalade evenly over one side of each bread slice.
  3. Cut each bread slice diagonally in half to form triangles.
  4. Arrange the triangles crosswise in the prepared baking dish, marmalade-side up, overlapping slightly.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups whole milk, 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cardamom, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup heavy cream until well combined.
  6. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the arranged bread triangles, ensuring all slices are soaked.
  7. Let the bread stand for at least 1 hour, basting occasionally, or cover and refrigerate overnight for enhanced flavor.
  8. While the bread soaks, prepare the citrus syrup: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, and 1 tablespoon orange zest. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Let stand for at least 1 hour.
  9. Bake the French toast, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  11. Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
  12. Serve immediately, drizzled with the citrus syrup.
