Recipe Introduction
With these French toast updates, breakfast gets healthier -- and less messy than traditional French toast made on a griddle.
List of 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)
Recipe
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.
