Product Review: Sugar Bowl Bakery Palmiers
This Orange Twist French Toast Recipe by Cricket Azima and The Creative Kitchen, featured on Archetypes, is perfect to make on Mother’s Day morning. The breakfast treat combines two morning staples to create one delicious dish: adding orange juice to your typical French toast gives it a sweet, tangy kick. Use whole wheat bread and the family gets a healthy serving of grains; eggs and yogurt provide a dose of protein and calcium. Finally, make sure to use orange juice without any added sugar. Save those calories for other sweet treats!
What Matters To Mom?
Experiment with flavors!
To really pump up the orange flavor, top off with a spoonful of orange jelly or marmalade. Place the jelly/marmalade and additional yogurt on the table for a delicious topping kids can stir up on their own.
If you have an orange and a zester, have the kids help make fresh orange zest. Teach them about the pith, pulp, and the benefits of vitamin C.
Add cinnamon sugar to the egg mixture for additional sweetness.
Ingredients:
4 eggs
¼ cup orange juice
2 tbsp. plain yogurt, plus additional to taste and for garnish
1 loaf whole wheat bread, sliced
2–3 tbsp. butter or nonstick spray for frying
Orange zest, to taste
Maple syrup, to taste
Instructions
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, orange juice, and yogurt. Whisk until well blended.
2. Dip slices of bread into mixture, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly. Set pieces of soaked bread aside.
3. In a medium sauté pan, melt butter over medium heat.
4. Place as many bread slices as will easily fit in pan and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until golden. Make sure egg is cooked through.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 until entire loaf is used up. Garnish French toast with yogurt, orange zest, and syrup to taste.
