No-Fry French Toast

Ingredients:
Nonstick cooking spray
1 slightly beaten egg
1 slightly beaten egg white
3/4 c. fat-free milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
8 slices (1 inch thick each) firm-textured French bread
1/4 tsp. finely shredded orange peel
1/2 c. orange juice
1 Tbsp. honey
1 tsp. cornstarch
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp. powdered sugar, optional

Directions:
Coat a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.  In a pie plate, combine egg, egg white, milk, vanilla, 1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon.  Soak bread slices in egg mixture for about 1 minute per side.  Place on prepared baking sheet.

Bake in a 450 degree oven for about 6 minutes or until bread is lightly browned.  Turn bread over and bake 5-8 minues more or until golden brown.

Meanwhile, for orange syrup, in a small saucepan, stir together orange peel, orange juice, honey, cornstarch and 1/8 tsp. cinnamon.  Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.  Cook and stir 2 minutes more.

If desired, sift powdered sugar over toast.  Serve with warm orange syrup.
