French Toast

• Seven or eight slices of your favorite whole-grain bread can be substituted for the French bread.
• 2 eggs or ½ cup cholesterol-free egg product
• ¾ cup orange juice
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 10 slices French bread, each 1 inch thick
• 21/2 cups whole-grain Total (R) cereal or Total Corn Flakes cereal, crushed

Beat eggs, orange juice and salt. Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat or to 375'. Grease griddle with margarine if necessary. (To test griddle, sprinkle with few drops of water. If bubbles skitter around, heat is just right.)

Dip bread into egg mixture; coat with cereal. Cook about 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. 10 slices toast.

Oven French Toast: Heat oven to 450°. Generously grease jelly roll pan, 151/2 x 101/2 x 1 inch. Prepare and dip as directed - except place bread in pan. Bake 5 to 8 minutes or until golden brown. Turn bread; bake 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown.

• ½ pound bulk pork sausage
• 12 eggs
• ½ cup chopped onion
• ¼ cup chopped green pepper

In a bowl, beat the eggs. Add onion, green pepper, salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Stir in sausage and cheese.

Spoon by 1/3 cupfuls into greased muffin cups.
