This morning, after a good night’s sleep, I turned the oven to 375 and threw in the breakfast strata I made yesterday in preparation for our company. It was so easy! I love when you can pre-make something so it is ready with no work when you need it.
For breakfast I served:
- Fat Free French Toast Strata (a first time for this, usually it’s low-fat)
- Orange fruit salad : oranges and cantaloup
- Spicy sausage (no pic, sorry I wasn’t really interested in this)
Before being baked:
And after:
Fat/Sugar Free French Toast Strata
- 1 1/2 cartons of Just Whites (egg whites)
- 1 brick of fat free cream cheese (this melted much better than I thought)
- 1/2 c. sugar free syrup ( or more if you would like)
- 2 tbsp. vanilla
- 1 tbsp. cinnamon (lots!)
- 2/3 c. skim milk
- 1 loaf or close to it 100% whole wheat bread
- Cut bread into cubes – like 1/2 in. by 1/2 in.
- Place cubes into sprayed baking dish you are planning on serving in
- In a bowl, mix egg whites, syrup, milk, cinnamon and vanilla.
- Cover the bread with the mixture.
- Cut cream cheese into little pieces and place throughout the dish.
- Cover with foil and keep cold in the fridge.
- Let dish set for 10-12 hours/overnight at least so bread is soggy.
- Bake at 375 for about and hour or until egg is cooked throughout!
- Serve hot with syrup!
Yum!
Mmmm!!
WOW! This looks completely indulgent and guilt-free at the same time. My favorite combo. Am definitely going to try this out!!!
