Add soy milk, low-fat milk, rosemary and 3 tablespoons of the honey; cook over medium heat 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Spray 2-1/2 quart deep, round baking dish with cooking spray while heating milk. Cut the edge of each pita about two inches, then fill each with 3 tablespoons of the currants. Stack pitas on top of each other; cut the stack into 6 wedges. Arrange the stacked wedges in a circle around baking dish. If any currants fall out, add to dish.
- Strain milk mixture into separate medium bowl; discard rosemary and orange peel. Whisk Egg Beaters, vanilla and cinnamon into milk mixture until blended. Pour over pita wedges. Let stand 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut reserved orange into sections by cutting between membrane; cover and refrigerate.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Sprinkle almonds over dish, then drizzle with 1 more tablespoon of the honey. Bake 45 minutes, or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Serve each stacked wedge warm or at room temperature topped with the remaining honey and remaining currants. Place a few orange sections to the side.
