Recipe: Healthy French Toast

Breakfast and Brunch
HEALTHY FRENCH TOAST
Source: The Healthy Body Cookbook: Fun Activities and Recipes for Kids by Joan D'Amico and Karen Eich Drummond

FRENCH TOAST:
1 large egg
3 egg whites
2 tbsp. Grand Marnier* (orange liqueur)
1 tbsp. sugar
3 tbsp. 2-percent milk
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 tsp. orange peel
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
12 slices of sourdough bread
TOPPING:
1/4 cup honey
1 tbsp. Grand Marnier*

Mix together the egg, egg-whites, Grand Marnier, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, orange juice and orange peel in a mixing bowl.

Whisk until well blended.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle on high heat until a drop of water "dances" on it. Use about 1/2 teaspoon of butter to coat the skillet.

Dip the slices of bread in the mixture.

Place dipped slices on griddle and fry for about 4 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Serve with the topping of honey and Grand Marnier.

Healthy-Eating Score:
Calories: 300
Fat: 3 grams (including the syrup)

Healthy-Eating Factoids: Most of the fat and calories in eggs is contained in the yolk. A single egg-yolk contains 5 grams of fat. Egg whites can be substituted for eggs in many recipes, thereby drastically reducing the fat content.

A non-stick pan allows you to cook with less butter. A small amount of butter can be used for flavoring, but avoiding excess butter lowers the fat content.
*Editor's note:
Substitute for Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur:
For each 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur, substitute the following: 2 tablespoons orange juice and 1/2 teaspoon orange extract or 2 tablespoons unsweetened orange juice concentrate.
