English Muffin French Toast
I have to admit we have had this recipe the last 3 weekends and Kevin has declared it his new weekend favorite. The texture is really nice because of the english muffins and a whole wheat english muffin (both slices is lower in calories than 2 slices of whole wheat bread. We were recently in the UK with family and found they do not call them english muffins over there --rather just muffins :)
2 eggs
1/3 c milk or half and half
1 teasp grated orange zest ( mine was dry and I 'bloomed' it in 1 T hot water for a few minutes)
english muffins sliced
cinnamon for sprinkling
Whisk eggs, milk and zest in bowl
Dip each slice of english muffin into the egg mixture, allowing english muffin to soak up some of the mixture. Sprinkle both sides with cinnamon. Spray large skillet with vegetable spray on medium heat. Add as many slices of muffin onto the skillet as will fit at a time. Fry until brown on both sides, flipping the muffin when necessary. (OK week 2 I decided to use a sandwich press on top of muffins --they ended up squishing down like pancakes- lost the fun texture)
Serve hot with butter, maple syrup, and if available, fresh berries.
