My Healthified Baked French Toast Casserole

Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life
Healthy mayyyy be a bit of a stretch for this recipe, but it is healthier than the original, so I'm sticking with it. Either way, it's DELICIOUS, and perfect for when you have a small crowd to feed.

French Toast Ingredients

  • 1 loaf French bread sliced
  • 1-1/2 cups egg substitute
  • 2 eggs
  • 2-1/2 cups skim milk
  • 1/2 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • dash salt

Praline Topping

  • 1 stick butter softened
  • 4 tbsp light butter *I used I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, Light spread
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tbsp light corn syrup
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Slice French bread into 20-24 slices (or buy pre-sliced like I did). Arrange slices in a 9x13-inch flat baking dish sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, in 2 rows, overlapping the slices.
  • In a large bowl, combine the egg substitute, eggs, milk, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and beat with whisk until blended but not too bubbly. Pour mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Make the Praline Topping:

  • Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and blend well. Spread over bread as directed above and bake.
  • Spread Praline Topping evenly over the bread and bake for one hour, until puffed and lightly golden. ENJOY!
