French Toast with a Crunch
Serves 4:

Ingredients:

1 egg white, lightly beaten
75 ml skimmed milk
juice and grated zest of 1 lime
1 teaspoon sugar or low-calorie granulated sweetener
50g unsweetened muesli
25g dried cranberries, finely chopped
4 slices multigrain bread
1 tablespoon olive oil

Method:

1. In a bowl whisk together the egg white, milk, lime juice and zest and sweetner. Place the muesli and cranberries on a flat plate and stir to mix well. Dip each piece of bread into the liquid and then into the muesli.
2. Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over a medium to low heat. Place half the bread in the pan and gently cook for 3 minutes each side. Heat the remaining oil and cook the remaining bread in the same way.

Variations:

Instead of cranberries you can use any other dried berries, such as blueberries or raspberries or bing cherries.
You can also substitute orange for the lime.
