- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup skim milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries
- 0 cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg whites, skim milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar until well combined.
Step 4
Arrange the whole grain bread slices in the prepared baking dish in a single layer, trimming the slices as necessary to fit the dish.
Step 5
Pour the egg white mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring that all pieces are soaked.
Step 6
Gently press down on the bread slices with a spatula to help them absorb the mixture.
Step 7
Scatter the mixed berries on top of the soaked bread slices.
Step 8
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and allow it to sit for at least 10 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for a more intense flavor.
Step 9
Place the covered baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Step 10
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard has set.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 12
Slice and serve warm with additional fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
