We feature some of summer's finest fruit in this stuffed French toast recipe, from fresh blueberries to peaches. The calories are reduced thanks to using fat-free skim milk and liquid egg substitute to flavor the wheat bread. If you can't find great fresh blueberries and peaches, you can use frozen (just be sure to thaw them first before proceeding). For convenience sake, feel free to prepare this recipe in advance. Simply cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate it up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to cook it, replace the plastic wrap with aluminum foil and then bake as directed.
