French Toast Kebabs

• Ingredients:

• 8 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 2/3 cup nonfat buttermilk
• pinch of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 loaf (one-pound) unsliced dense white bread (such as pullman), crusts removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 pint fresh blueberries
• 1/2 pint fresh raspberries
• 2 bananas, sliced
• Maple syrup (optional)

• Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven to warm. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, salt, and vanilla. Stir in bread.
  2. In a large saute pan set over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Place half of the bread mixture in pan; cook, turning occasionally with a spatula, until browned on all sides. To keep warm, transfer to the oven. Cook remaining bread in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter as before.
  3. Thread bread cubes onto skewers alternating with blueberries, raspberries, and banana slices. Serve immediately with maple syrup, if desired.
