We prefer fresh French bread from the bakery to achieve the crispiest top and softest center. Save the egg yolks from the separated eggs for the Crème Anglaise.

Ingredients:

4 egg whites

1 large egg

1 1/4 cups 2% reduced-fat milk

3/4 cup evaporated fat-free milk

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 (12-ounce) french bread loaf, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 8 cups)

vegetable cooking spray

4 teaspoons light brown sugar

1/2 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces

1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

crème anglaise

garnish: cinnamon sticks

Directions:

1. Whisk together egg whites and egg in a medium bowl until blended. Whisk in reduced-fat milk and next 7 ingredients.
2. Arrange bread cubes in an 8-inch square pan coated with cooking spray. Pour egg mixture evenly over bread. Sprinkle evenly with 4 teaspoons brown sugar, butter, and almonds. Press down gently on bread cubes, and let stand 10 minutes.
3. Bake at 350° for 30 to 35 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm with 2 tablespoons chilled Crème Anglaise per serving. Garnish, if desired.
