Warm and Yummy Breakfast

WOW!  I just heard it is going to be 3 degrees tomorrow morning, with a possibility of 15 below with wind chill.  That sends chills thru me just thinking about it!

I don't know about you but I love to have a HOT breakfast on mornings like this.  Now ideally I would make this over the weekend when I have a little more time, however I might try making it up tonight and putting in the oven as I am getting kids and myself ready in the morning:)  What's nice about this recipe is if you don't eat it all at once, you can save it for later in the week in the fridge or make a couple batches up and have some in the freezer to warm when you are wanting something quick.

Yummy and Healthy Blueberry French Toast Casserole
(Makes about 12 servings)
Ingredients
6 cups cubed, Ezekiel bread
8 egg whites
1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. almond extract
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups fresh blueberries
Directions
Step 1 – In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, almond milk, honey, extracts and cinnamon. Whisk well.
Step 2 – Oil a baking dish (about 9 x 13), and fill it with the bread.
Step 3 – Pour the liquid mixture over the bread and allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes, mixing once or twice to be sure all parts of the bread are moistened.
Step 4 – Mix in the blueberries.
Step 5 – Bake the casserole at 350 F. for about 45 minutes or until there is no longer any liquid between the bread.
Step 6 – Allow to cool a bit and serve.
Eat and Enjoy!
