ingredients
serves 4
2 eggs
3/4 cup skimmed milk
1 level tablespoon finely grated orange rind
4 slices 3-day-old whole wheat bread, 1/4 inch thick, cut in half and crusts removed
1 tablespoon corn oil
method
1. Whisk the eggs, milk and orange rind together and pour into a wide, flat dish. Lay the bread in it in one layer and after 10 - 15 seconds, turn over with a palette knife. Leave for 2 - 3 minutes to soak up all the mixture.
2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet and cook the bread over a moderately high heat for 2 - 3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Serve at once while hot and crisp.
