CAJUN STYLE FRENCH TOAST

Category: French Toast

1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
2 egg whites
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tsp grated orange peel
8 slices Texas toast, day old French bread or honey oat bread
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup maple syrup, heated

In a medium bowl, beat first 6 ingredients until mixture is thick, blended and smooth. Pour mixture into a shallow bowl.

Dip bread slices into mixture and allow to read on a large jelly-roll pan. Make sure all of egg mixture is used on the bread.

Heat butter in a large buttered skillet without crowding, brown bread slices on both sides. Allow at least 5 minutes per slice to insure cooking throughout. Dust with sugar and serve with maple syrup. Serves 4
