Orange French Toast Recipe

2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
2/3 cup skim milk
1 tbsp grated orange rind
1 tbsp unsalted margarine
8 thin slices whole wheat bread

In a shallow bowl or pie pan, whisk the egg whites, milk, and orange
rind just until blended.
Melt 1/4 of the margarine in a heavy 12-inch nonstick skillet over
medium heat. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
Quickly dip bread slices in the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides
well. Place in the skillet and cook about 3 minutes or until brown; turn
and cook the other side about 3 minutes.
Prepare the remaining bread slices in the same way, adding more
margarine as needed. Keep the cooked slices warm by placing them on a
platter in the oven. Serves 4.

VARIATIONS: Maple French Toast - substitute 1 Tablespoon maple EXTRACT
for the grated orange rind.
Spiced French Toast - substitute 1 teaspoon each ground
cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract for the grated orange rind.
