Orange French Toast

INGREDIENTS

¼   cup brown sugar

½   teaspoon grated orange peel*

½   cup fresh orange juice*

½   teaspoon ground cinnamon

½   teaspoon vanilla extract

2    large whole eggs

¼   cup low fat (2%) milk

6    slices pre-sliced French bread

 METHOD

In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, orange peel, orange juice, cinnamon and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk and add to the orange mixture bowl, stirring to combine.

Warm a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Dip each slice of French bread into the egg mixture, being sure to get every spot on the bread soaked. Fry each piece for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, serve and enjoy. Add a little butter and/or maple syrup if you please.

*NOTE: I used a medium orange and just grated all the peeling I could and then juiced the orange and strained the juice into the bowl, eliminating seeds and pulp.
