How to Make Low Fat Baked Stuffed French Toast

  1. Trim crusts from 1 loaf (about 1 pound) of challah bread, brioche, or Texas toast.
  2. Arrange half of the bread slices in a greased 13x9 inch baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups milk, 1 1/2 cups egg substitute, 1/2 cup half-and-half, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  4. Pour half of the milk mixture evenly over the bread in the dish.
  5. In a food processor or blender, combine 1/2 cup egg substitute, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Blend until completely smooth.
  6. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the moistened bread.
  7. Top with the remaining bread slices. Pour the remaining milk mixture over the top layer of bread.
  8. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Remove plastic wrap and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until golden brown and set. If browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
  11. Let the casserole stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  12. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar (optional) before serving.
