Beat the egg, milk and vanilla extract and optional orange peel in a shallow pan until ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Add the bread and let it soak, turning it over once or twice to be sure both sides are moistened. Let the bread soak up all the liquid. Heat about 2 teaspoons butter in a saute pan over medium heat. When the butter has melted and looks foamy, add the soaked bread and cook about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Makes 2 slices
