Orange French Toast Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

2.00 md Eggs, beaten very lightly
-or use egg substitute
0.33 c Unsweetned orange juice or
-juice of 1 med. orange
0.50 ts Pure vanilla extract
1.00 ts Grated orange rind
4.00 sl Bread - day-old bread is
-better than fresh
2.00 ts Margarine

Recipe Instructions:

This is from the cookbook called THE ART OF COOKING
FOR THE DIABETIC - REVISED EDITION by Mart Abbott
Hess, R. D., M. S., and katharine Middleton.
Mix together the eggs, orange juice, vanilla, and
orange rind; pour into a pie plate. Dip each slice of
bread into the mixture until all liquid is absorbed
into bread. Heat margarine in a large frying pan over
medium heat and lightly brown bread on both sides.
YIELD: 2 servings of 2 slices of toast. NUTRITIVE
VALUES PER SERVING: CHO 29 G, PRO 10 g, FAT 11 g, CAL
265, Fiber 1.7g, Sodium 371 mg, Chol 274 mg. FOOD
EXCHANGES PER SERVING: 2 starch exchanges plus 1
high-fat meat exchange. Low sodium diets: Use unsalted
margarine. Personal note: Use light bread with 40
calories per slice. This would cut down on nutritive
values and would give you 1 starch exchange instead of
2 and using egg substitute would give you lean or
medium fat meat exchange instead of high-fat meat
exchange.

Servings: 4
