Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup orange juice 🥤
- 8 slices of bread 🍞
- 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. 🍊
- 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. 🍯🍓
