Number Of Ingredients 5

eggs
skim milk
orange juice (I like "Most Pulp"--it adds a nice texture)
stale wholegrain or multigrain bread (sliced), or toast if no stale bread is available
I have made this recipe for friends on low-fat diets using just egg whites (one can also use 1/2 the eggs whole and the other 1/2 just egg whites).

Steps:

  • Break the eggs in a small bowl. Pour in equal parts milk and orange juice, until you reach a desired consistency. Whip these three ingredients together, taking care to break up the whites of the eggs (because they tend to want to stay together). If stale bread is not available, place sliced bread in the toaster (toast allows bread to stay stiff, so it won't fall apart when placed in the liquid egg mixture). Place one piece of the bread into the small bowl and let it soak for a little bit, then flip so that both sides are equally soggy. Place the bread on a heated non-stick skillet. As one piece of bread is cooking on the skillet, soak the next piece in the egg-milk-orange juice mixture. Repeat! It is up to the cook if s/he wants to provide maple syrup or other garnishes. Personally, I like to eat these plain. With the nice and subtle orange flavor, they really don't need anything else!

I wasn't sure how the orange flavor would go with French toast, but I was pleasantly surprised! The orange zest added a nice subtle flavor that didn't overpower the other ingredients. The French toast was also very fluffy and cooked evenly.

This is my new favorite French toast recipe! The orange zest adds a delicious citrus flavor that really brightens up the dish. I also love that this recipe uses brioche bread, which makes the French toast extra fluffy and decadent.
