Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup orange juice π₯€
- 8 slices of bread π
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- Margarine or butter for frying
Instructions:
- Combine eggs and orange juice: In a mixing bowl, crack open 2 eggs and pour in 1 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice. π
- Beat really well: Use a whisk or fork to thoroughly beat the eggs and orange juice until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Prepare bread slices: Take 8 slices of bread and dip each slice into the egg and orange juice mixture, ensuring that both sides are evenly coated.
- Coat with graham cracker crumbs: After dipping the bread slices in the egg mixture, transfer them to a plate containing 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs. Coat each slice generously with the crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Melt margarine: Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add a knob of margarine or butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
- Pan fry: Once the margarine is melted and the pan is hot, carefully place the coated bread slices into the pan. Cook for a few minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the French toast slices from the pan and transfer them to serving plates. Serve hot with your choice of syrup, honey, or toppings like powdered sugar or fresh fruit. π―π
