Ingredients

1 loaf (1 pound) French bread, cut into 20 slices
1 can (15 ounces) sliced peaches in extra-light syrup, drained and chopped
1/4 cup chopped pecans
4 eggs

1-1/2 cups fat-free milk
3 tablespoons sugar
1-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided

In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, egg whites, milk, sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and vanilla; pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
