Baked French Toast

Preheat oven to 400°.

Place bread slices in a single layer in 2 (13 x 9-inch) glass or ceramic baking dishes.

Combine milk and next 3 ingredients (through egg white), stirring well with a whisk. Pour milk mixture over bread, turning slices until milk mixture is absorbed. Transfer bread slices to 2 large baking sheets coated with cooking spray.

Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until browned and puffed, turning halfway through cooking time. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

Place 3 French toast slices on each of 6 plates. Top with strawberries, syrup, and powdered sugar.

Lighten Up

A friendlier French Toast

My lighter version uses 2% reduced-fat milk rather than heavy cream in the egg mixture--this small change saves 250 calories and 48 grams of fat per serving!
