    List of Ingredients




    Blueberry-Stuffed French Toast

    French Toast
    Cooking spray
    6 eggs
    1 tsp grated orange peel
    2/3 cup orange juice
    3 Tbsp sugar, divided
    pinch salt, optional
    1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (thawed and drained, if frozen)
    8 slices (1-1/4 inches thick) Italian bread
    1/3 cup sliced almonds

    Blueberry Orange Sauce
    3 Tbs sugar
    1 Tbs cornstarch
    1/8 tsp salt, optional
    1/4 cup orange juice
    1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
    1 cup orange sections (about 2 oranges)


    Recipe



    French Toast
    Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking
    spray.

    In a medium bowl beat eggs, peel, juice, 2 tablespoons of the sugar
    and the salt until well blended. Pour into a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking
    pan; set aside.

    In a small bowl combine blueberries and the remaining 1 tablespoon
    sugar; set aside. With the tip of a sharp knife, cut a 1-1/2-inch
    wide pocket in the side of each bread slice. Fill pockets with
    reserved blueberry mixture, dividing evenly. Place filled slices in
    egg mixture. Let stand, turning once, until egg mixture is
    absorbed, about 5 minutes on each side.

    Arrange bread on prepared baking sheet; sprinkle with almonds. Bake
    until golden brown, about 15 minutes, turning slices after 10
    minutes.

    Serve with Blueberry Orange Sauce.

    Blueberry Orange Sauce
    In a cup combine sugar, cornstarch and salt; set aside. In a small
    saucepan bring orange juice and 1/4 cup water to a boil. Add
    blueberries and orange sections. Return to a boil; cook until
    liquid is released from fruit, about 2 minutes. Stir in sugar
    mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, 1 to 2
    minutes.
