Ingredients
-
Nonstick cooking spray
-
1 slightly beaten egg
-
1 slightly beaten egg white
-
3/4 cup fat-free milk
-
1 teaspoon vanilla
-
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
8 1-inch-thick slices firm-textured French bread
-
1/4 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
-
1/2 cup orange juice
-
1 tablespoon honey
-
1 teaspoon cornstarch
-
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional)
Directions
1.
Coat a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. In a pie plate combine egg, egg white, milk, vanilla, and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon. Soak bread slices in egg mixture for about 1 minute per side. Place on prepared baking sheet.
2.
Bake in a 450 degree F oven about 6 minutes or until bread is lightly browned. Turn bread over and bake 5 to 8 minutes more or until golden brown.
3.
Meanwhile, for orange syrup, in a small saucepan stir together orange peel, orange juice, honey, cornstarch, and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more.
4.
If desired, sift powdered sugar over toast. Serve with warm orange syrup. Makes 4 servings.
Note
If you are using soft-textured bread, reduce soaking time.
