French Toast with Blueberry Sauce

Sunday night dinner.  I had ambitions to make a veggie pot pie but really just got too lazy! Instead we whipped up this easy recipe using some fresh blueberries that I had bought at the store earlier in the day.  It turned out great and, it is always fun to have brinner! 

Servings: 2

Serving Size: 2 pieces and half of the blueberry sauce

Points Plus: 2pp

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Level of Difficulty: Easy

Rating: 4 stars – Very Good

Ingredients

1 cup fresh (or frozen) blueberries

½ T. sugar

½ T. lemon zest

½ T. lemon juice

4 pieces low calorie bread

1 egg

2 egg whites

1 T. fat free milk

½ T. vanilla

Cooking spray

Instructions

Put the first four ingredients in a sauce pan and turn heat to low.  Cook for about 8 minutes, until the berries have broken down and the mixture is a soup like consistency (it is super easy to make a low cal berry sauce that is delish by the way!). Spray a griddle pan with cooking spray. Beat your egg, egg whites, milk and vanilla in a shallow bowl. Carefully dip each piece of bread into the egg mixture to coat, and fry for a few minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown.  To serve, place two pieces of French toast on a plate and top each with ½ of the blueberry mixture, which will be about 1/3 cup.  You could also top with 2 T. fat free cool whip for no additional points plus.

Tip

You could try this with any type of frozen or fresh fruit that you like. Blueberries will breakdown to a great ‘saucy’ consistency, but any fruit will be delish!
