Orange French Toast

18 weeks left in the year, and I'm determined to lose weight.  Combined with a love of food, this can be a tricky game to play.  So I'm currently all about portion control and including fruits and vegetables and making recipes that won't sabotage my diet.   I found this breakfast recipe in a Weight Watchers cookbook.    This entire breakfast, including the turkey sausages, was only 370 calories... not bad for a huge portion!  It definitely filled me up.

Orange French Toast

Orange French Toast from "Simply the Best" Cookbook

Makes 2 servings

250 Calories (4 WW points)

Ingredients:

1/2 cup skim milk

1/3 cup fat-free egg substitute

1 tablespoon orange zest

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

4 slices low-calorie whole wheat bread

1/2 cup nonfat or lowfat vanilla Greek yogurt

1 large naval orange, cut into slices

1/2 cup sliced strawberries

Directions:

In a shallow bowl, combine milk, egg substitute, orange zest, vanilla, and cinnamon.  Dip the bread slices into the egg mixture, coating both sides and allowing the liquid to be absorbed.

Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and allow it to heat.  Add the bread, 2 slices at a time, and cook until browned on one side, about 3 minutes;  turn over and cook 2 minutes longer.  Cut the French toast slices diagonally in half.  Place 4 halves on each plate;  top with the yogurt and fruit.
