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!

This was a delicious and easy recipe. I made it for my brunch guests and they raved about it. I used a variety of different breads, including brioche, challah, and sourdough. They all turned out great.

This was my first time making French toast and it turned out great! The orange flavor was a nice twist on the classic recipe. I used brioche bread and it was the perfect choice. The bread was thick enough to hold up to the custard and the orange flav
