Yield: 4 servings
1 lg Egg
2 lg Egg whites
3/4 c Skim milk
2 tb Sugar
1 ts Pure Vanilla extract
1/4 ts Ground cinnamon
1/8 ts Baking powder
8 sl 1/2" thick Italian bread
2 ts Vegetable oil (Canola)
1 ts Butter
CINNAMON SYRUP
1/2 c Sugar
1/4 c Dark corn syrup

1/4 c Evaporated skim milk
To prepare French toast: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together egg, egg
whites, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and baking powder until well
blended.
Place bread slices in a large, shallow baking dish and pour egg mixture
over
the top; turn to coat evenly. Press a piece of wax paper directly on the
bread to cover it, then cover dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate
overnight.
To make cinnamon syrup: In small saucepan, stir together sugar, corn
syrup, cinnamon and 1/4 cup water. Bring the mixture to a boil over
medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from
heat
and stir in evaporated skim milk. Let cool; transfer to a small pitcher.
(The syrup can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to a week.
If
desired, warm before serving.)
To cook French toast: Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil and 1/2 teaspoon of the
butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 of the
soaked bread slices to the pan and cook until golden on both sides, 2 to 3
minutes per side. Transfer the toast to a platter and keep warm in a warm
oven. Cook the remaining slices in the same manner, using the remaining 1
teaspoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon butter. Serve with cinnamon syrup.
