Mix together the eggs, orange juice, vanilla, and orange rind; pour into
a pie plate. Dip each slice of bread into the mixture until all liquid is
absorbed into bread. Heat margarine in a large frying pan over medium heat
and lightly brown bread on both sides. YIELD: 2 servings of 2 slices of
toast. NUTRITIVE VALUES PER SERVING: CHO 29 G, PRO 10 g, FAT 11 g, CAL 265,
Fiber 1.7g, Sodium 371 mg, Chol 274 mg. FOOD EXCHANGES PER SERVING: 2
starch exchanges plus 1 high-fat meat exchange. Low sodium diets: Use
unsalted margarine. Personal note: Use light bread with 40 calories per
slice. This would cut down on nutritive values and would give you 1 starch
exchange instead of 2 and using egg substitute would give you lean or
medium fat meat exchange instead of high-fat meat exchange.
