Crunchy Bran French Toast Recipe

Popular Categories

Ingredients

	8 slices whole-grain bread
	4 tablespoons light cream cheese (softened)
	4 teaspoons low-sugar orange marmalade
	2 large eggs plus 2 egg whites
	Zest and juice of 1 orange
	1 teaspoon vanilla extract
	1-1/2 cups bran flakes cereal (or more)
	1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
	1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar (optional)


Instructions


Spread 4 bread slices with 1 tablespoon cream cheese each; spread the other 4 slices with 1 teaspoon marmalade each. Combine to make 4 sandwiches.


Whisk the whole eggs, egg whites, orange zest and juice, and vanilla in a shallow bowl. Place the bran flakes in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin 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.


Heat 1 tablespoon each oil and butter in a skillet or GRIDDLE over medium heat. Add the sandwiches in batches and cook until the outsides are golden and the insides are melted, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (Add more oil and butter, if needed.)


Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired. Wait a couple minutes to serve (Cream cheese can be hot).


Serving Suggestions

These are sweet enough you don't need syrup.
