Stuffed French Toast

Serves 3; 2 slices per serving
Six 1-inch-thick slices French bread
¼ cup nonfat or light cream cheese
½ tsp finely shredded orange peel
1 tsp orange juice
Egg substitute equivalent to 3 eggs
2 Tbsp. skim milk
Cooking spray
Cut a pocket horizontally into each slice of French bread, being careful not to cut all the way through. Set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese, orange peel, and orange juice. Spoon about 1 heaping teaspoon cream cheese mixture into each bread pocket. Spread evenly with a knife.
In a shallow bowl, beat together egg substitute and milk. Place a slice of stuffed bread in the egg mixture, let soak for about 30 seconds. Turn bread over and soak for another 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining pieces of bread.
Spray griddle or large skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Cook bread slices 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve warm.
