List of Ingredients



• 1 loaf French bread
  
• 5 large eggs
  
• 3/4 cup fat-free half-and-half
  
• 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
  
• 1 (20-ounce) bag frozen whole strawberries, partially thawed
  
• 4 ripe bananas, sliced
  
• 3/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp sugar, divided
  
• 1 Tbsp apple pie spice
  
• Pinch of ground cinnamon
  






Instructions



1. The night before cooking, cut the bread into 1-inch slices and arrange in a 13x9-inch nonstick baking pan. In a bowl, beat the eggs, half-and-half, vanilla and baking powder until blended. Pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
   
   
2. The next morning, heat the oven to 450 degrees (F). Remove bread to a plate. In the baking pan where the bread was soaking, mix the strawberries (thawed enough to separate), bananas, 3/4 cup sugar and the apple pie spice. Top with bread. Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar and the cinnamon.
   
   Bake until toast is lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
