Directions
Spread 4 bread slices with 1 tablespoon cream cheese each; spread the other 4 slices with 1 teaspoon marmalade each.
Combine to make 4 sandwiches.
Mix the whole eggs, egg whites, orange zest and juice, and vanilla in a shallow dish, whisk well.
Put the bran flakes in a zip-lock bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Pour the crumbs onto a plate.
Dip both sides of each sandwich in the egg mixture, then in the bran flakes crumbs, gently pressing the crumbs onto the bread.
Heat 1 tablespoon each oil and butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Arrange the sandwiches in batches and cook until the outsides are golden and the insides are melted, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (Add more oil and butter, if desired.)
Slice the bran toast sandwiches into triangles.
Cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve with sugar sprinkled or maple syrup drizzled on top!
