35 15 50

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 3 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 8 slices Italian bread (1-1/4 inches thick)
  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
  • Dash salt
  • BLUEBERRY ORANGE SAUCE:
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1-1/2 cups orange segments
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds

Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine blueberries and 2 tablespoons sugar. Cut a pocket in the side of each slice of bread. Fill each pocket with about 3 tablespoons berry mixture.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, orange juice, orange peel, salt and remaining sugar. Carefully dip both sides of bread in egg mixture (do not squeeze out filling). Place in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 400° for 7-1/2 minutes on each side; turning gently.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gently whisk in orange juice and water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; stir in oranges and blueberries. Cook for 5 minutes or until heated through. Serve with French toast; sprinkle with almonds. Yield: 8 servings.
