8 slices whole-grain bread
4 Tbs. light cream cheese (I didn't measure. See note below.)
4 Tbs. low-sugar orange marmalade (I didn't measure)
2 large eggs
2 egg whites
Zest and juice of one orange (about 1/3 cup of orange juice)
1-1/2 cups bran flakes cereal
1-2 Tbs. vegetable oil
1-2 Tbs. butter
2 Tbs. powdered sugar
Directions: Spread 4 bread slices with cream cheese and the other 2 slices with the orange marmalade (NOTE: I didn't measure. I just spread a generous layer of each until it looked good). Combine to make 4 sandwiches.
Whisk the whole eggs, egg whites, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla in shallow bowl. Place the bran flakes in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pins or your hands. Pour the crumbs onto a plate. Dip both sides of each sandwich in the egg mixture,
then in the crumbs, gently pressing the crumbs onto the bread.
then in the crumbs, gently pressing the crumbs onto the bread.
Heat 1 tablespoon each of oil and butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the sandwiches in batches and cook until the outsides are golden and crispy and the insides are melted (about 3-4 minutes per side). Add more oil and butter as needed.
Slice the French toast sandwiches into triangles. Cream cheese filling will be quite hot, so let cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar. Makes 4 servings. Enjoy!
