Blueberry Brunch Casserole Recipe

submitted by reader Robin Decker of Kalispell, MT

Robin Decker, of Kalispell, Mont., created a wonderful fruit casserole perfect for brunch. To “lighten” it, we’ve used a combination of egg whites and whole eggs, 2% reduced-fat milk, fat-free cream cheese and fat-free yogurt. The savings: 120 calories, 18g fat and 140mg cholesterol.

Ingredients
6 egg whites
2 eggs
2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk
2 (6-ounce) containers nonfat
lemon yogurt
¼ cup sugar
8 ounces day-old French bread,
cut into ½ -inch cubes
1 (8-ounce) package fat-free cream cheese, cut into ½-inch cubes
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 (8-ounce) container frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
Instructions
1. Whisk egg whites and eggs in a large bowl until well beaten. Add milk, yogurt and sugar; mix well. Add bread cubes and toss to coat completely. Add cream cheese and 1 cup blueberries and toss to blend.
2. Coat a 13 x 9-inch glass baking pan with cooking spray. Pour egg mixture into pan. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 350F.
4. Remove plastic wrap and bake 50 to 55 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let stand 15 minutes. Garnish with remaining blueberries and whipped topping. Serves 8.
