8 slices bread
12 ounces evaporated skim milk
4 eggs
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Lightly coat 9"x13"x2" pan with non-stick vegetable spray. Arrange bread slices in bottom of pan. Combine all remaining ingredients and mix well, using whisk or egg beater. Pour mixture evenly over bread. Cover tightly and refrigerate several hours or overnight. To bake, preheat oven to 350.

Remove bread from refrigerator and spray lightly with non-stick vegetable spray. Bake 30-35 minutes, until lightly browned. Serve with hot maple syrup, powdered sugar, and cinnamon. Sylvia's notes: this worked fine, came out reasonably crisp on the outside and reasonably soggy on the inside.

Definitely a fine lower-fat alternative to the traditional fried french toast.
