: Especially looking for one that calls for Grand Marnier. TIA!
French Toast Casserole
Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups skim milk
3 whole eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup Grand Marnier (optional)
12 slices wheat or whole-grain bread, cut in halves (not diagonally)
2 tablespoons margarine, melted (divided use)
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar (divided use)
2 cups fresh raspberries (divided use; use frozen if not in season, or use other ripe fruit)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat a 9-by-9-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine milk and eggs; lightly beat with a fork until blended, add Grand Marnier. Dip bread halves in egg mixture to coat well. Layer about one-third of slices in bottom of baking dish.
Lightly drizzle one-third of margarine over bread. Sprinkle 21/2 tablespoons of sugar on top, and cover with half the raspberries or other fruit. Repeat with another layer of bread (pattern differently from bottom layer) and top with one-third of margarine, 21/2 tablespoons of sugar and remaining fruit. Cover with remaining bread, margarine and sugar. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Cover and bake for 25 minutes; uncover and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
