Whole Wheat French Toast with Blueberry Sauce



Recipe: Zonya Foco

This was good. Mike said the bread was a little "harsh." I used really grainy whole wheat nutty bread and it was very distinctive. You couldn't taste much else besides the bread. I will make it again with different bread.

1 egg
2 egg whites
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 TBSP skim milk
3 dashes cinnamon
3 cups frozen unsweetened blueberries
8 slices whole grain/multi grain bread
1 tsp. corn starch

Toss eggs, vanilla, milk and cinnamon lightly with a fork. Dip bread in egg mixture and cook on griddle.

Place blueberries in microwave safe bowl and cook on high for 4 mins. These will cook down to 1 1/2 cups. Add corn starch. Continue microwaving for an additional 2 minutes until thick and bubbly.

I cooked the blueberries on the stove. Or, try this blueberry sauce. It's my favorite blueberry sauce.

Recipe: All Recipes

2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1/4 cup water
1 cup orange juice
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup cold water
3 TBSP corn starch
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/8 tsp. cinnamon

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, 1/4 cup of water and orange juice and sugar. Stir gently. Bring to a boil.

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water. Gently stir in the cornstarch mixture into the blueberries. Simmer gently until thick, 3 to 4 minutes.

Remove from heat and add almond extract and cinnamon. Thin sauce with water if it is too thick for your liking.
