Why this works

A moderately energy-dense breakfast with useful protein from eggs and milk, but relatively high in saturated fat and low in fibre.

Protein from eggs and milk. Provides about 11g protein per serving, which helps with satiety and supports muscle maintenance.

Vitamin C from orange juice. Orange juice adds a modest amount of vitamin C, supporting immune function and iron absorption.

Saturated fat from butter. Butter contributes a notable amount of saturated fat, so this dish is less suitable for those aiming to reduce saturated fat intake.

Method

Whisk the eggs, milk and orange juice together in a shallow dish.
Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, turning so it is evenly coated but not soggy.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.
Serve warm, with extra orange juice reduced in the pan if you want a glossy drizzle.
