Fruity French Toast



I think that starting your families day off with a good breakfast is a great way to start the day.  My kids were never the crack of dawn kind of kids. They just love to sleep, always have.  So the best way to get them up on a Sunday morning is to make a great breakfast. Who doesn't like to wake yo to an amazing smelling  breakfast ? 
The original recipe calls for only berries, but you can substitute any frozen fruit. But it is best with at least half of it with berries.   A mixture of frozen peaches and berries is the best for me.  


2 1/2 cups frozen berries
2 1/2 cups frozen peaches (any fruit)
3/4 cup sugar
1 TBSP cornstarch
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Cooking spray
1 cup milk
1tsp vanilla
4 egg whites, slightly beaten
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 8oz loaf of French bread, sliced into 1 inch thick slices
1 TBSP sugar
1 TBSP powdered sugar

Combine the frozen fruit, sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon and pour into a 13x9 baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
Whisk together the milk,vanilla, egg whites and egg together in a large dish. Add the bread, turning to coat all sides, let stand for bread to absorb the milk mixture for about 5 minutes. 
Lay the bread slices over the fruit mixture. Sprinkle with the TBSP of sugar. Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
