Comforting French Toast Breakfast

This morning, we were all hungry for breakfast but did not want oatmeal or cereal, we wanted something special.  I suggested French Toast & everyone got really excited.  Here's the recipe:

Comforting French Toast (serves 4)
Time from start to finish: 15 minutes

1 loaf of bread (challah bread is recommended but potato or white bread is fine), sliced
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
2 cups of lite vanilla or lite chocolate soy milk
2 eggs
1 tsp. orange zest
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup sliced almonds
margarine
powered sugar
maple syrup

In a medium sized bowl, beat the milk, eggs, cinnamon, orange zest, & vanilla together.  Spray a large skillet or flat pan with non stick spray & heat the skillet.  Dip the slices of the bread in the egg/milk mixture & cover all the sides in batter.  Place each slice on the hot skillet.  Let it sit on each side for about 2 minutes of until golden brown, then flip.  After the french toast is golden brown on each side, place it on a serving plate.  Spread a little margarine on top.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar and almond slices.  Serve with maple syrup.  How delicious & what a great way to start your day!
