Ingredients
12 slices multi grain or whole-wheat sandwich bread – use a thick, substantial bread
6 large eggs
2 cups low fat Greek yogurt (I use Voskos)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping:
Butter flavored cooking spray
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
1. Arrange bread slices in a 10 X 13-inch baking dish, in 2 rows:
2. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, yogurt, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt and beat with a hand whisk until blended.
3. Pour mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly. Press down with a spatula to compress and to get the yogurt mixture in. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
4. The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the foil. Spray the top with butter flavored cooking spray. Mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping and sprinkle it on the bread. Bake 45 minutes, until puffed and golden. Cut into 12 slices. Serve immediately. Maple syrup is optional – this is very good as is.
