Orange French Toast

Serve each person two slices with orange-strawberry syrup poured over the top. If it's just you at the table, halve the recipe or save the leftovers for later.






1½ cups (375 ml) orange juice
2 eggs
¼ cup (60 ml) skim milk
¼ teaspoon (1 ml) cinnamon
½ teaspoon (3 ml) sugar
¼ cup (60 ml) strawberry jam
2 teaspoons (10 ml) butter
8 slices whole-wheat bread

In a bowl, combine ½ cup of the orange juice and the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and sugar. Set aside. In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 1 cup of orange juice and the strawberry jam. Heat to a simmer, stirring until most of the jam is liquefied. Keep simmering over low heat. In a large pan over medium heat, melt about ¼ of the butter. Dip bread (one piece at a time) in the egg mixture. Turn to coat both sides. Cook each piece of bread in the skillet, flipping, until both sides are golden brown.
