How to Make Whole Wheat French Toast

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 large egg whites, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  2. Whisk until the mixture is light and frothy.
  3. Dip each slice of whole wheat bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Let soak for about 15-20 seconds per side.
  4. Lightly coat a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
  5. Place bread slices in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Cut the French toast diagonally and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as honey, molasses, or maple syrup.
