Baked Blueberry French Toast
Serves 9
Ingredients
| 12-inch French or sourdough baguette |
4 tablespoons brown sugar, divided |
| 4 egg whites |
3/4 cup blueberries, coarsely chopped |
| 1 cup fat-free soy milk |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
| 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted |
| 1 teaspoon vanilla |
(optional; not included in nutritional analysis |
Directions
Spray a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Cut 10 1-inch thick
slices from baguette. Arrange in baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk
egg whites until frothy. Then whisk in milk, nutmeg, vanilla and
2 tablespoons brown sugar. Pour evenly over bread, turning slices to coat
evenly. Cover pan. Chill at least 8 hours or overnight, until liquid is absorbed
by bread. Preheat oven to 400 F. Drop blueberries evenly over bread. In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons brown sugar and oil, and pecans if you wish. Spoon evenly over bread. Bake, uncovered, about 20 minutes, until liquid from blueberries is bubbling.
