Cooking Steps
- Zest, then juice one orange.
- Add cream, orange juice and orange zest to a medium pot over medium-high heat.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until cream comes to a simmer.
- Immediately remove pot from the heat and place in the fridge to cool slightly, 10 min.
- Meanwhile, cut buns into 1-inch pieces.
- Grease an 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tbsp softened butter.
- Whisk together cream mixture, eggs, cinnamon, 1/2 tsp salt and brown sugar in a large bowl.
- Add bun pieces and chocolate chips, then stir to coat bread with liquid.
- Transfer bread mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Cover baking dish with foil and bake in the middle of the oven for 30 min.
- Carefully remove foil, then continue to bake until top is golden-brown, 10-15 min.
- Core, then cut apple into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Cut a piece off the top and bottom ends of orange. Place a flat end on a cutting board, then cut the peel away from the flesh from top to bottom, turning orange as you go. When peeled completely, slip a paring knife along each side of the "membranes" (the white lines) of each orange slice to release the segments. Halve segments.
- Peel, then cut kiwi into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Place apple, orange and kiwi in a large bowl, then toss to combine.
- Allow chocolate orange French toast bake to cool on a wire rack for 3-5 min before serving.
- Divide French toast bake between plates, then, using a fine mesh sieve, dust icing sugar over top. (NOTE: For a sweeter option, drizzle with maple syrup or honey from your pantry!)
- Serve fruit salad on the side.
