Calcium Rich: Orange French Toast with Honey Yogurt Sauce

A single-serving breakfast that’s quick, nutritious, and way more exciting than plain toast.

The custard gets a citrus lift from grated orange zest and a touch of vanilla, soaking into two slices of bread before hitting a hot skillet with just a whisper of margarine.

Two minutes per side and you’ve got golden, fragrant French toast dusted with nutmeg.

The real star is the honey yogurt sauce: low-fat plain yogurt sweetened with a drizzle of honey. It adds a cool, tangy contrast that makes maple syrup feel like overkill.

Between the skim milk, yogurt, and egg, this is a calcium-packed breakfast that keeps things light without sacrificing flavor.

Kitchen Tips

• Let each bread slice sit in the egg mixture for a few seconds per side. You want it well coated but not so soaked that it falls apart in the pan.
• Whole wheat bread adds fiber and holds up better than white bread in the custard. Either works, but whole wheat gives you a sturdier slice.
• The honey yogurt sauce doubles as a great fruit dip. Make extra and serve alongside sliced berries or banana on the side.
