The Big Apple French Toast Casserole Recipe
No-guilt French toast for a crowd. A crowd of LUCKY people. This multi-serving, no-guilt treat is pretty addictive, so make it for a group or you might find yourself eating multiple servings. Consider yourself alerted ... says Lisa Lillien.
Ingredients:
8 slices light bread (40-45 calories each with approximately 2 g fiber per slice), cut into cubes
4 oz. fat-free cream cheese, room temperature
1 medium apple (preferably Fuji), peeled and diced
1 ¼ cups light vanilla soymilk
1 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute
2 tsp. light pancake syrup
2 tsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread, melted
¼ tsp. cinnamon
1 no-calorie sweetener packet, or more, to taste
Optional: additional sugar-free pancake syrup for dipping (not included in nutrition count)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray an 8"x8" baking dish with nonstick spray. Place bread cubes evenly along the bottom of the dish.
Sprinkle diced apple evenly over the bread.
In a medium-large bowl, combine all other ingredients (cream cheese, soymilk, egg substitute, syrup, butter, cinnamon and sweetener). If you like your French toast pretty sweet, add an extra packet of sweetener.
Using a handheld electric mixer set to medium speed, mix until lump-free and smooth.

Pour mixture over the bread and apple. Make sure bread is soaked in the liquid mixture. If needed, toss lightly to coat.
Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until egg mixture is pretty firm and cooked through. (Don't overcook, as bread may burn.)
Let cool slightly and cut into squares. If you like, serve with additional syrup for dipping.
