- In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, orange zest and cinnamon until blended; stir in almonds. Cut a pocket in the side of each slice of bread; fill with 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk egg substitute, milk and vanilla. Dip both sides of bread into egg mixture. Cook on a greased hot griddle until golden brown on both sides.
