My family loves french bread. I usually buy two at a time just to let the other loaf sit out for a day to use for this recipe (and for my french onion soup). I love this recipe.... it's perfect for Sunday mornings, or family holiday gatherings. What makes it even better than your traditional french toast casserole is this one is low on calories and sugar making it a healthier breakfast choice. I just assembled this tonight so the mama bird and little birds can sit and watch the tournament of roses parade on t.v. tommorrow.
Ingredients:
1 cup liquid egg substatute
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups of low fat milk
2/3 cup of splenda granulated sweetner
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon of maple extract
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
12 ounces of french bread, cut into 2 inch squares
2 teaspoons of powdered sugar
Directions:
Spray a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with non stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg substitute, eggs, milk, sweetner, extracts and cinnamon until well mixed. Add the bread pieces into the mixture and quickly coat by gently stirring.
Pour into baking dish. Cover and refridgerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until puffed in center and lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and lightly dust with powdered sugar before serving.
