3slicesstale breador about 1 cup of cubed stale bread, or several small baguette pieces
2largeeggs
1/4cupfat free or 1% milk
1/2tspground cinnamon
1/4 tspvanilla extract

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F
Spray a baking dish with cooking spray, or grease lightly with butter.
Layer your bread into the baking dish.
Beat 2 eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread in the baking dish. Turn each piece over to ensure it is covered in egg (if bread is extra stale, you might need to add one more egg with a enough milk to soak the bread). Sprinkle the top with additional cinnamon if desired.
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until eggs are set, and bread is lightly browned.
Cut into 2 portions and serve with fresh or canned fruit.
