Caramel French Toast

Ingredients:

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 3 Tablespoons butter substitute
• 4 Tablespoons light corn syrup
• 1 1/2 cups egg substitute
• 1 1/2 cups nonfat milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 12 slices heavy low-fat sandwich bread  (Braided Country White Bread, -- page 77 --  is delicious)

Directions:

• In a small saucepan combine brown sugar, butter substitute, and corn syrup. 
• Cook over medium heat until slightly thickened, stirring constantly. 
• Pour caramel mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
• Combine egg substitute, milk, vanilla and salt. 
• Stir until well blended.
• Arrange 6 slices of bread (may need to squish or trim a little, depending on the size of the slices) to cover the caramel layer.
• Top with the remaining 6 slices of bread.
• Pour egg mixture over bread. 
• Cover and chill overnight or about 8 hours. 
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees 40-45 minutes or until lightly brown and set.
• Serve warm, being sure to scoop up the caramel sauce along with the french toast.

This is extra festive with nonfat whipped toppiing, berries, Caramelized Apples --  P.14 ( which can be prepared the day before and warmed prior to serving) -- or other fruit filling as sides for  the already decadent  French Toast.
