Sweet French toast with marmalade sauce

Yesteray morning we were both checking for recipes. Sophie had her first go. I found one in an app I downloaded a long time ago. It's a Jamie Oliver cook book app. Extremely neat with a lot of features a real book will never have: Step-by-step description (with pictures), some steps with helpful videos linked, shopping list export, search, and so on. I hope there will come more like this, if so, I'll never buy another real book ;)

But, of course, it wouldn't be me, if I won't vary the recipe. So here is my solution:

I used 1.5 big Ciabatta buns (maybe a little too much) and cut it in quarters. I mixed 1 egg, 1 vanilla pod and 30ml of cream (matläggningsgrädde ;) ) and a teaspoon of sugar and let the chiabatta soak for a few minutes from all sites.
Instead of Seville marmalade (I guessed it's orange marmalade) I used two table spoons breakfast mix marmalade (apricot, orange,...) we bought once for camping. Put it in a pan on medium heat and add zest and juice from half an orange, and cook until the marmalade melts, then turn heat down. Meanwhile fry the soaked ciabatta in a knob of butter for 2-3 minutes until it's golden-brown. Serve the french toasted ciabatta topped with some spoons of the marmalade sauce and some Vanilla ice cream on the side decorated with some remaining orange zest - Delicious!
