Ingredients
- 4 heaped tbsp orange marmalade
- 4 croissants, sliced in half horizontally
- 4 large eggs
- zest of 1 medium orange
- 200ml whole milk
- 2 tbsp demerara sugar
- 2-3 tbsp whisky (optional)
Step by step
- Heat the oven to 180 ̊C, fan 160 ̊C, gas 4. Butter a 20cm square baking dish. Spread the marmalade inside each croissant then arrange them in the dish, overlapping.
- Whisk together the eggs, orange zest, milk, 1 tablespoon of the sugar and whisky (if using) with a pinch of salt. Pour the mixture over the croissants, making sure they are all equally covered. If you have time, leave them to soak for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle over the remaining sugar and bake for 20 minutes until set, puffed up and golden. Cut into squares and serve with natural yogurt.
